I am in Seattle but all my colleagues are in the Bay Area and I feel isolated and bored so I would like to be where the action is. I calculated that we would lose ~$70k per year by moving due to CA income taxes (household) despite the slightly higher salary. And this is not even taking into account the higher cost of living. So it seems like the smart decision should be to stay in Seattle. Agree? TC: $500k
use the 70k to travel down often
Iād be willing to lose money to get out a shithole like Seattle.
Seattle for sure!!!
Bay Area sucks
There is no difference in seattle cost of living these days after pandemic, house prices got way too expensive, btw its depends on how much u like the sunny weather and hate the rain
Good weather, high taxes, great job opportunities- Bay Area. Bad weather, good lifestyle, better housing, good job opportunities, great schools, less taxes, less Indians - Seattle.
Decide: money or action
Heck yeah! Well, for my lifestyle anyway. I hear the pnw is pretty great too but Iāve never lived there
