Will you take a 200k paycut for a remote job?

I got two job offers, one is FB M1 in Seattle, the other one is a mid-size company M2 remote job. Even though FB is higher by 200k, I felt it’s so difficult to choose. One side, I can live a decent life with 360k anywhere else. The other side, 200k (only 125k post-tax) difference is substantial enough to allow me retire earlier. Another concern, People can interview with Facebook every year, but high paying remote job is very rare.
