A few years out of college I was making $X, and was simultaneously approached by two companies. The first was located just outside of Paris, for $X+n (small $n). The second was about 50 miles from where I lived in Oregon, but was $2*X. I chose the second, which led me on a career development path that worked out well for me financially.
I wish I'd taken the job in Paris. It would have set me back a few years, financially, but in retrospect, I'd have valued the experience more.
