I have an IC6 offer doing Linux kernel development (primarily) at Nvidia. I currently work at a startup in a LCOL area, but this job will require being at the Santa Clara office. What do you all think of this offer?

YOE: 17 yrs total w/PhD (12 years in this specialty)
Current TC: 220K (again, low cost area)
--
IC6 Offer:
Salary: 265K
RSU: 425K (vesting over 4 years)
Signing bonus: 25K

It seems like a nice job that uses my background pretty well. But I'm worried about the cost of living change as I have to move to somewhere in South Bay. Thoughts? The ESPP seems like it may be worth another 20-25K a year, but I don't want to count on it. #offer
