Sydneysiders - how do you find living in Sydney right now?

Long story short, I received a job offer last night.. Living in Melb right now.

122k including super in the cbd with a day work from home (may be able to negotiate more down the track).

I am so torn on this decision, I have lived in Brisbane and Newcastle, and I miss good weather and the beach so much!!

Although this is a 20 grand per year increase than my current job, i think it would end up being the same considering the price of living in Syd/rentals.

I am wanting to buy a property but know that the max i could buy is 700k and can't see how i could really get a 2 bed anywhere a realistic commute.

For anyone that has lived elsewhere, how do you find sydney? Is it worth it or is it just too hard to get ahead ?
