I have 3 offers in hand at different locations. So, in huge dilemma. If you are me, which one do you pick? Please vote. Current TC: 225K (Bay Area) fyi - they are providing full relocation package
265k and don't need to move from CA -> best option
200k+ and move out of Bay - > best option
lol nope
Atlanta weather sucks ass and the traffic is terrible. Bay Area is expensive and the traffic is terrible. Austin is cheaper, slightly less traffic, and sounds like a pretty dope place to live. Bay area is the only one with legal weed though.
Due to COL differences, Austin and Atlanta will give you the most bang for your buck. Unless you have other non-monetary reasons to be in the Bay area, those two places make the most sense.
Your priorities are fucked dude. Don’t make these decisions based only on money. Where do you want to live?
I like Bay Area but I hate COL and home prices. Thinking, my family lives happily and nice home if I move out
If the subjective part is important to you, it's not a good idea to base such a major decision based on myriad different preferences of random online strangers, since we're not you. We don't know whether you value family and kids' education at 40%, 90%, or 15%. I say this with all respect for your personal needs.
Austin- no contest really. COL is way lower and quality of life is way higher than Bay area. You're also going to be able to better afford to buy a house in town, if that's important to you.
No way I’d move to Atlanta, none. Especially with a family. Only problem with Austin is that it is surrounded by Texas. Love the city though and all the music.
I wouldn't wanna move to Atlanta unless there's some HUUUGE benefit in doing so. Texas would also be a hard move for me but being Austin might make it a bit better. Texas also has no state tax so that's ur best bet in this case if u r okay with the state.
