San Jose vs Denver
Is the decrease in cost of living worth the pay cut involved in moving to Denver? Seems like the former is supposed to be 30% and the latter is 20%. I think the main areas i will see a difference are in rent and in state income taxes (9 to 4%) but I dont pay a lot in rent now (1200).
If you can pay cash for a house in Denver - go for it. Lots of work, good people, great food, awesome weather.
Denver is a great city to live in

There’s no much traffic it denver. Food better in Denver. Great steaks and farmer’s products. The cost of living cheaper and you can make there 200+ and live like a king.
Probably! IMO, Denver ain't ready for rapid population expansion. Same food gets boring, I like variety. YMMV. Great point on the COL, I assumed it's common knowledge.
Opportunities are less in Denver for tech. Nothing compares to the amount of tech jobs with multiple HQ in bay area
