Minimum TC that makes moving to the Bay Area “worth it?” for a single male in their 20s working as a Product Manager?

No obligations
In Arizona it was $73,500 base and $6000 bonus.
Got a job in bay area that was level up and $150,000 base $35,000 performance bonus.

Once you will be there you will have so many opportunities and will be able to double or triple your TC within a few years. Now is the best time to move and turbocharge your career when you have no spouse/kids. Just be frugal. You can always come back at a higher level.
I think the “90% paycheck on rent and basic food” assumption lacks support
If op could get that 2x offer then they would’ve gotten it. Could wait until it materializes and then move. Nothing worse than money stress and job stress combined.
