50% paycut plus higher taxes means your take home pay will be more like 45% of what you are earning now. That's too much of a drop for most people. I've been to Kelowna a lot of times but it always feels like the same two streets you are driving everyday.

The weather is slightly nicer but Calgary ain't that bad most of the time. Moving is a romantic thought but I don't think it'll work out for you because how happy will you be making just 50% of what you are making now?

If you make the same money in Kelowna, it's a viable thought. 190K is a lot of income that you might not be able to get back if you let this Shell job go.
