This echoes a lot of the sentiment that I had when I moved, and frankly I regret it. I can't obviously know that all of our variables are the same, but for me, I lost the ability to work in a place that had a friendly work environment, with nearly full control over how and what I worked on, the ability to publish, AND work on a full stack, in exchange for a doubled paycheck and losing all of the above, this was simply not worth it and I spend most days here counting down until I've "paid my dues" and can go back into an area I feel more passionate about without burning any bridges.
