@Christopher i like the idea of new york but moving from london to new york wouldn't be that much of an upgrade

Oh, 100%. It’d be the same cosmopolitan and metropolitan bullshit.

@Scar It'd be safer lol

Did bug eye cortez get a seat on finance with bernie?

not by much @Fitzydog

@Scar You didn't hear? London has now surpassed the violent crime rate of NYC

I'm considering just picking a state by the best internet and highest wage i can get

I know but it's not that much higher @Fitzydog

Texas right now is best bang for your dollar

Or tell the Atlantic to go fuck itself

International crime stats are always iffy

In comparisons

I’m only moving to NYC since people in my industry make $120-150K starting off at the best firms.

You earn the most for tech jobs in Cali but fuck that it would be like moving from london to an even more cucked version that's somehow even more expensive with shitter internet

As a Cali resident, can confirm that’d be the case

<:thronk:441701565607444482>

From what I know, London is much worse on all of those things

Maybe not internet

But Cali has fast internet now

>earn more
>pay tons in income, sales, everything tax

Dad works in Silicon Valley, and the pay is great, but he loses most of his income to taxes anyways

Internet is really good and the prices for rent very much differ by how far from central london you get

Silicon Forest then lol

that's another good point @Christopher

>payed less in texas
>keep more for lack of income tax, sales tax exempting rent, utilities, so on

>end up with more money in texas than cali

Oh dont forget cost of living

Texas doesn’t have state tax, right? That’ll save you around 10% more compared to Cali automatically.

I need to research this stuff a lot before i make any decisions considering I will probably live wherever i choose for the rest of my life

No income tax

Sales tax in most cities after factoring state, county and city is around 10%

Give or take a percent

And as i said rent and utilities are generally exempt

But then you pay a sales tax like that in Cali still anyways

Why isn't sales tax included in prices and also put price without tax on things too?

No

I'm not saying change it i'm genuinely just curious

Most things are listed as price + tax

It really depends on the store

But most do that due to base price changes

yeah but that seems like a lot of work to calculate it on every thing you buy doesn't it?
