Family of 4, 1 person working. Fed up with rent, traffic and all other issues in Bay Area, planning to move out. Any better place to raise a family peacefully with less cost of living and decent IT opportunities.What are my options ? Arizona/Portland/Austin/North Carolina ??? I am not a SWE and not having fancy Bay Area salary and definitely not greedy.
Dallas, North Carolina etc
She is on H4 visa
Portland is great
If you like the sight of heroin and poop on the street.
NC is pretty chill, almost no traffic if you are working outside the Research Triangle Park and overall COL is cheap here
Chicago is nice.
the weather, the traffic, the mafia, the drugs...
Why not Seattle? Uber and Lyft have offices here. Also there’s larger tech companies like all of them, except Apple.
Apple too
Try Salt Lake City (Silicon Slopes).
I know few friends moved back to Seattle from Bay Area. Try Seattle or Austin,no state taxes
How about opportunities for non SWE in these locations ??
Ask your SO to work.
