Got an offer for IT Manager for 135k in SF.
Really wanna take it but everyone keeps telling me this is way too low for a person with a wife and kid.
Any insight on this? Really wanna take the offer, but don't wanna struggle.
HALP!
Edit:
Gave back some of the stocks got it bumped up to 176k base, 9k relocation, 5k signing bonus & 30k shares over 4 yrs
Thanks for the help everyone!!!

Im making 93k now so thats a big drop
Find a good soup kitchen start-up and Starbucks nearby since they will never kick you out now.
Also check Grindrr for "Dirty Mike and the Boys", good group to be in for fight night Fridays.
I'm not "lucky" to be making more than 80% of the country...I worked hard for every opportunity..and I'll continue to do so.
Im the 1st in my family to graduate college and the 1st to get a masters degree...im sorry but your generalization doesn't apply to me.
And, we live in the United States of America....
So, do not blow off the fact that you are very lucky. You make more than physicians in some parts of the world.
Discounting that fact is both arrogant and ignorant.
( before you go blowing me off as some privileged whatever- I'd face more hate than you down in Podunk... )
Also, racists are everywhere man. If you’re looking for some raceless utopia, it doesn’t exist. I’ll admit some places are better than other though. But you should ALWAYS run the numbers man. This offer is a bad one.
Keep grinding and sooner or later someone will offer you something decent.
Local office = staff that post online wondering if they can extract more for something LITERALLY tens of thousands can do for 1/5th less.
Sorry, but these are my feelings. I think you should feel very fortunate that in the coming years there will be another recession and you're making 10x more than 80% of the country. You could also go live in Oakland where it's half the price. It's not how much you make that counts, it's how much you save. If money is what drives you then you'll be one of the first to go from a company as you may turn out to be dead weight when it comes to downsizing in a bad economy.
Look where FAANG is: the Valley.
