Are there opportunities for advancement? If not, you're really going to hate living on that kind of a budget in San Francisco. I only do it because I've lived here all my life. See if you can find a cheap, rent-controlled studio in San Francisco proper, it will save you so many headaches.

Remember to factor in the cost of the train into your budget - you could end up finding it cheaper, not to mention more convenient, to live somewhere closer in with a higher rent. "Affordable" can be tough to find, and is a relative term.

Do you already have a job lined up, or is your salary strictly an estimate based on what you make now? If it's just a guess based on current salary elsewhere, and IF you can find a job here (and right now that is a BIG if, given the tough economy) the pay here might be more than it is wherever you're living now.
