Might be accepting a new job

[The Kraken]

Lived in OKC all my life. Recently, I've been offered two jobs, one in SF and one in Seattle. Not sure where we'll be moving but it will be one of those two liberal, pansy ass cities.

And I'm excited as hell.

Regardless, we'd live downtown or very close to it. This will also be very new to me. We're looking at renting for the first 6-12 months and then buying. I'm used to having a few acres, now I'm looking at 2BR apts unreal how expensive it is to live in those cities. Maybe I could get a part time gig here to make ends meet.

Anyways, I realize this is all pretty pointless for you guys but it's a pretty big move for Kraken.

Like KD, I've outgrown the smaller markets

SF

do it

great city even if you do it for a short time

[GUMMO77]

SF is obviously a great city, but can you even find a place to rent that isn't going, at least some, put a dent in your salary?

[shari91]

Congrats! Very exciting news!! Let us know when you decide where you're going.

[konck]

GL Archie I always thought of Chicago as a toilet

[Boner_18]

Shouldnt the new gig compensate for the cost of living and then some? Unless youre unemployed now id rethink moving to a more expensive localle for less $.

[newguy]

I would go Seattle. Was offered a gig in San Fran a few years back and did a little research. Not my kind of city. Wasn't it twain who said the coldest winter I ever lived was the Summer I spent in San Francisco? Know others love that city and obviously won't be warmer in Seattle but the PAC northwest would be my pick over San Fran.

Congrats either way kraken!!

[Pauulzcappin]

good luck kraken

wish you all the best in this new phase of your life

[Ralphie Halves]

I wouldn't worry about the liberalism. There are hippie douche liberals, normal people, and yippity yehaa minority hatin conservatives in every city in America. You'll find a way to fit in regardless.

The fans at the only 49ers game I ever went to reminded me of the fans at the only Broncos game I ever went to, plus a few more Asians.

[BigDeem5]

Don't believe a word from this guy

Total ghost / troll

[I/O]

One of the wive's daughters lives in Seattle. Waayyyyy expensive but she loves it. Property values are insane. Her hubby is pulling in 100-150 and they can only rent a house. She is though, a tattooed, fake tittied, over emotional, left of Pelosi, chick that makes Sybil look well balanced.

[jjgold]

Kracken you will never last there

Rich Cities unless you live very far from City

Gummo is making a very good point. Not sure how much money you want to spend on rent, but be prepared to pay a very heavy price for it.
In many parts of the city you now see people try to outbid each other on the rental...kinda like they do when buying a house.

San Fran blows in my opinion. Walking up giant fukkin hills everywhere you go. I'll never forget how we visited this Mexican food place, and they brought out this tiny ass bowl of tortilla chips. Literally like 6 fukkin chips in this bowl. So I finish them in about 90 seconds, and ask for some more. The waitress told me there's a small charge for extra chips. WHAT THE FUKK??? Also, everytime I ordered tea to drink, they asked me "hot or cold?". Do what? Who in the fukk orders hot fukkin tea at a fukkin restaurant??

Bunch of fukkin weirdos.

They knew about your stones pal...they definitely knew it

[Optional]

Seattle sounds like great quality of life.

[El Nino]

Without a cost of living raise, fukk that.

[unusialsusp5]

leaving tornado strewn OKC for earthquake prone no california. hmmn, seems you have a penchant for natural disaster high risk areas. maybe you should consider damascus, syria or minsk, ukraine if to increase your odds of your demise.

[King Mayan]

Finally decided to leave that dustbowl I see... Great move..

[stealthyburrito]

Move to San Fran.

Will be that way either late this year/early next year for work.

We'll grab a few beers and discuss how backward/closed minded conservatives are.

And then hit up some gay clubs together as a couple of non-homo bros.

Don't do it, Archie. Next thing you know, Mayan and stealthy are taking your culo, duro!

[kmarinouofm]

Lived in the Bay area for 2 years.. its an amazing place to live.. However Rent is out of Control in San Fran now.. and many people that I left behind there are saying its not the same city anymore.

Also look at San Jose and surrounding cities and think about driving to work. I love San Jose.

[jjgold]

If you do not live in the hood like Mayan ....Krackles you will never afford it

do not do it

its for rich people

[Hot Jerry]

Both are beautiful cities , I've been in both of them - Seattle is more relaxed city by my opinion and cheaper .

Who in the fukk orders hot fukkin tea at a fukkin restaurant??

Who in the fukk thinks that "tea" is iced unless stated otherwise?

[jjgold]

Seattle way over priced

SF worse

Highest real estate in world

[timbaland99]

Slightly inappropriate question but to assess how viable these options are I have to ask:

How much per year? Does the wife work? Are there opportunities to advance in the workplace?

No problem if you tell me to fuk off as it is really none of my business

Good Luck Kraken

[Jimmy Proffett]

Why would you get a job when you can just make money sports betting like everyone else here

[jjgold]

Jimmy excellent point it seems most people win here

[opie1988]

Who in the fukk thinks that "tea" is iced unless stated otherwise?

Normal, non-gay people.

[thunderous]

Good luck with the move Kraken!

[jjgold]

If you're not making a lot of money Crackin I don't think it's worth it

[El Nino]

Normal, non-gay people.

Maybe they saw the highlights and pegged you as one of them!
