I can definitely appreciate that. I'm 36, and am considering a move now, but that's mostly because I've often worked for small companies and moving hasn't really been an option.

There is definitely value in doing this when you're young, especially moving to a big city out of college/university. I've found a surprising number of people in their thirties doing the same in big tech, mostly because there is more job security with experience, and having money + your health is a great thing if you want to try something new.
