In 1 year, I’ll be looking to move to a new city.
Where should I go? I will be 25 with 4 YOE. I expect to have 700k or so in assets by then and my current TC is ~330k.
TC and saving is not the priority now as I am young and have a good nest egg. As long as I can make money and advance my career, all is good.
Options:
Seattle: save money on taxes, still west coast. I love skiing and have friends here. I also have a car so this would be convenient.
New York: partying, dating, city life. I’m not the biggest fan of NYC life, but it could be good to try for a year. Not as many close friends here as Bay Area or Seattle.
Singapore: explore Asia, learn about SEA tech. I am really excited about spending time here but it could be randomizing and bad for career. I have no ancestral ties to Asia which is why coming here while younger is appealing.
London: explore Europe, learn about European tech. I am European so it can be a good opportunity to meet more of my brethren. Again, might incur a TC hit, although I know friends who have gotten solid offers (250k or so).
Other: comment
Immigration is not an issue as I have US and EU passports.

What city are u at right now? That which u seek may be right under your nose
Other friends have gotten 200k+ TC in Singapore.
If I can make 200k to live somewhere new, that’s good enough for me.
I might have a million dollars net worth by the time I’m moving. My family has enough $ collectively and I can always come back to the US for a high TC job with a year of experience abroad.
I would think of it as getting paid to study abroad. Even $150k is good.
UK is usually 100k GBP; SG is usually 130-150k SGD
