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?

Never seen that in Cali. Tax isn’t part of the listed price.

Don't calculate it?

especially if it's not 10%

Does it matter?

It's not like I'm counting every single fucking penny when I pay for shit

I was just curious why it works like that in the US

I never dealt with anything but 10%

it's 8% here

6% in Kentucky

But i always just use base 10 and call it good for estimate

Only good thing no sales tax here

But damn they rape you with income
