AZ is awesome! I took a 22% pay cut to go out there, but the messed up thing is I take home the same amount of money even know I technically make 22% less money before taxes. Housing is pretty cheap, and I'd recommend getting a condo or a house if you can, they are still very reasonable. I'm renting right now, but I'm hoping to buy in a few months. Everything in general is cheaper than the north east. As for night life there is tons of stuff to do and there are beautiful women everywhere. I was out at the devil's martini the other weekend and I could count the ugly chicks on one hand. There are so many beautiful, single, friendly women out here. When I go out to eat, I have yet to see an ugly waitress. If your single, the phoenix area is awesome. I recommend comming out here for a visit to see how you would like it. I've been here since november and I love it so far.

oh yeah, Tempe, and Scottsdale are the places to live. Chandler, and Mesa are also pretty nice. I'm a huge fan of the south east valley.
