Yes, If you have never been around Silicon Valley culture do experience it. The culture and knowledge sharing is invaluable.

If you have a family do not go to Silicon Valley.

Loved living in the Bay Area.

Hated the commute. Hated the prices of everything.

Loved the culture. Loved the crazy you can only find in SF ( altho much of that is moving to places like that warehouse which burned in Oakland ) Loved the beautiful ocean beaches.

Rent prices... well... you will lose money moving to the bay unless you get a ludicrous salary.

Single.. I wouldnt hesitate. Married with kids. Stay away from The Bay.
