Although I am not an Oracle DBA and never hope to be, you should be aware
that there are a lot of Colorado outfits that are advertising in the hope
you will come here.
The reason is that the hope that the lifestyle "change" will overcome any
other inhibitions you may have. Including a lower salary.
Colorado companies have been doing this for years. They love to bring in
outsiders, show 'em pictures of the mountains, and fill their heads with
fantasy about how wonderful life can be here. And for a while it is.
This is a great place to live, as long as you can make a living. But once
your skills are no longer in demand, don't count on it being pleasant
experience. Just ask all the geologists and other people who have moved
here during previous boom times.
