What would you do, take it or leave it?

I understand horrible location is subjective, but what if you had an awesome job lined up that was in a horrible location, would you take it or leave it?

Horrible as in having to move to a new city, or just in an undesirable part of the town you currently live in?

Could be either, that is up to you.

One example, someone lives in Hawaii on the beach they love it, then they get an offer to move to middle of no where Wisconsin.

I would need an awesome salary, and an exit plan after a few years of socking away a large nest egg. I've spent many years already moving from one crappy location to another. We finally live in an awesome location and I'm going to try like hell to stay.

Whatever makes the job awesome to you, if that implies a large salary so be it, but picture a job that you believe is awesome in every way.

It is subjective, if moving a long distance or having a long commute is horrible to you then it qualifies as a horrible location.

No amount of money can be worth the misery. Nothing's worse than living with regrets, you can't buy back wasted/squandered time....which could have been used for something more worthwhile.

We are in Seattle area…I wake up, look out my window at a gorgeous view of the Cascades and Mount Rainier. Compared with years previously staring at corn fields.
