Evaluating options between Seattle and NYC for an internal move. Outside US now.

On the surface Seattle - lower taxer, depressing weather, would need a car.

NYC - higher taxes, better QOL, donโ€™t need a car

Have lived in NYC before at much lower TC, taxe savings are kinda big now. New role has similar TC for both locations.

What do you guys think?

New TC - 310k

    Ah, who gives a shit about the weather. The rain is not that hard anyway, just a bit frequent, and not in the summer. Just use the extra tax savings to go somewhere sunny a couple of times in the winter.

    I don't think NYC would have higher-quality life. Bodegas and hobos on the subway - why would you crave that.

      You can see plenty if you go to the forest, the trees shield you from most of the rain anyway.

      Vacationing has the benefit that you can go to a different exciting destination every time. Living in the South has the drawback that you have no money to go anywhere else and you also have to put up with all the socially conservative policies this usually entails. More money = more freedom, it's simple.

    • Well, I'm not sure what's going on with your math, but the COL is significantly lower in the South. With a remote job you have significantly more money left in your pocket.

    If youโ€™re young and a white guy, Seattle is the place to be. Asian chicks dig white ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Plus you save on State taxes
