+1 on the move to AZ, sunny, lots of stuff to do, decent vegan options (people + food), moderate entrepreneurial climate, and decent taxes, at least for now. With the influx of Californians, things have deteriorated in recent years.

What kind of software development you do? DO you work for a big co or a small company?

Hey MJ,

What part of AZ would you recommend buying in? Any particular areas in Scottsdale?

Not averse to risk, I see. I hope you have more success with that strategy than I did. I'd recommend moving wherever the ratio of supply : demand for consulting services in your niche is the lowest.

Why not test your idea before setting out? You can do some email outreach/organic outreach for local businesses before you jump ship.

If you're really motivated, you can even do it even while suffering your "insufferable" software job.

AZ IS a desert, so make sure it's something you're OK with.
