Top Shelf, think about this very hard. I made a move based on similar motivations and I have regretted it ever since. Calgary is a great city and you work for a great company. Trust me, you'll move someplace else and in a year and a half the shine will be off of that pumpkin and you'll be fed up with the "rat race" in that location as well. It's human nature. Sylvan fan made some really great points. Not only do I regret leaving Calgary from a family, friends and work perspective, but I also regret leaving the $400K in equity that I have seen build up in my old house in the five and a half years I've been gone. My advice is work on being happier where you are. It'll payoff in the long run.
