Nice. What is it like?

Billy Ocean

I dont want to live in a city. I need a cabin in the woods, internet connection and a car so that i can drive to the city once per week to buy food.

I live in the Bay Area. Protip: it's shit.

Moving to the south soon and can retire on what is considered pocket change around here.

>Post ideal city to work in
Silicon Valley (not a city but you get the idea)

Because I want to be a tech entrepreneur

>>841971
too many people for me. as in mexican and black people

>>841964
very close to sunny beach as well, high chance of a mugging though,

>>841971
>Muh Entitlement.
>Muh cost of living
LA is the part of California that the rest of California makes fun of.

>>841929
I'm plan on pursuing an applied physics PhD in the bay area not to only study and increase my knowledge, but also to network and get a feel for whether or not Silicon Valley is for me. I'm working my ass off right now to try and get a scholarship to Stanford.

>>841971
It's tough, home prices and rents are high, taxes are too, traffic is monstrous, droughts, too hot and polluted.

CA used to be better. But it's either gotten worse or I'm sick of the horseshit. Maybe a bit of both.

Bit it really depends on what kind of life you want and what industry you're in. If you want to get into movies and tv, then go there. But just for general working, don't.

Boston

>>841989
What about muh europiean girls muh hot girls muh highways?

Dublin. Huge tech and aircraft finance centre - could do either

Just gotta graduate first

>>841998
>Just gotta graduate first

>tfw two more years

NYC
born and raised there, center of the financial world, diverse city, that's fun and actually has everything

can also be cheap if you know how to live

>>841996
Never heard about euro girls there. But if you like latinas, it could be good for you.

And highways are the problem there, not a bragging point. Public transportation is really bad, so everyone must endure horrible commutes.

>>842006
Ok is traffic bad along the la coast lines? If I owned a fast car would I be able to drive it fast or would it be muh NY one block every 30 min? Also like Spanish girls but not a fan of Latinas Brazil has some good girls though. Really like French Scandinavian ect.

>>841998

Dublin, CA is more relevant to the world than Dublin, Ireland

>>842015
Good luck trying to find a job there. Its totally not like 1000s of people go there every year with the same uneducated belief that its such a great place and end up getting fucked by the cost of living and business culture there. The entire state has a shitload of debt, many companies are closing shop and moving to Texas, and why the hell do you want to go to a place where water is going to cost 10x more then it does anywhere else?!?!?!

>>842015
Traffic is bad, you'll be buying a car for comfort rather than speed because you'll be spending hours a day in it.

And the coastal highways are bad too. The PCH is clogged with tourists. Seriously, please just stay away. I'm bailing out myself.

>>841900
Where in the Bay? The peninsula is nice, East Bay and SJ not so much

>>842076
I'm in the east bay, but literally everywhere is crazy. Peninsula has sky high rent, east bay has bad commutes, take your pick.

I'm vacationing in the South now and see that it's much easier here. I can literally buy a home for cash with money to spare just for what my equity is now.

But again, it depends on your goals, energy, etc. Just research before you come here. Look at rents especially.

No shit; the people have so much potential and working with them is so much fun.

>>841807
Vancouver BC

Great economy , clean , safe , sky mountains close by , beautiful green areas and parks , good for entretainment and good job prospects for finance.

I'm moving there in 3 months when I finish wageslaving away up in a mine in Northen BC .
Haven't move yet because illiterate blue collar slob and I'm making too much money here compared to what I can make down there specially while I do my Canadian security courses . And yes I want to sell securities

>>842051
By /biz/ culture do you mean it's good or do you mean being screwed by taxes?

>>842072
Ok so even if I was in a Shelby gt500 I could not drive it fast along the cost way there would be bumper to bumper traffic.

>>842072
Also where to go to if I want to meet cute europiean ladies I'm an American btw.

>>842138
Europe

>>842002
I'm from NY too and the only way to live cheap is to move to the Burroughs or NJ now. Housing is getting way too expensive in the city.

>>841992
Eurofag here, Fringe made me like Boston. How is it on the nig-o-meter, though?

>>842172
Pretty safe I think.

>>842002
London is the centre of the financial world

>>842051
LA is overcrowded just like California. A lot of people are moving to cheaper state for greener pastures. Texas, and Arizona are those hotspots.

Applied physics PhD student here, I've already posted in this thread but I'm seeing there's a lot of Californians in here and it just so happens that I would like to move to California one day (Scandinavian here) to get into the tech industry.

Any california natives ITT please tell me some things that are shit about california. Don't hold back.

>>842037
Except that Dublin, Ireland is where the European headquarters of Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Apple, Intel and Microsoft are based. Not to mention a host of pharmaceutical companies.
It's also less than an hour's flight from one of the largest financial centers of the world

>Post ideal city to work in
???
>Post why
close to the high mountains, so I can ski all year, but also close to the sea, so I can go surfing or to the nude beach in summer, and rockclimbing all year.
But if I dont feel like doing outdoors stuff, I just go to the nice, historic city center, do whatever shopping I need, and go out with friends for the night.
Also, the huge airport with fast and cheap connections to the whole world is nice.
And of course I love it that I can reach my hometown within 2 hours by train, should I decide to hang with my old friends for the weekend.

I'm planing to live near metrotonwn and comute from there,since I'll be taking the courses at BCIT and I can work as a finacial advisor trainee at any bank just to get my foot in the door. My rent budget is 1200-1500/ month since I need a place with a yard. Currently I make 9K-10K/ month before taxes running equipment but I have an over use injury on my shoulder that it's making it unbareble to work so I'm saving money to quit , re train ,and get a job that doest require me to grind on a machine for 12 hours a day /7 days a week for
6 months of the year. So far I have 20K in savings , no debt , and 40K in lines of credit and credit cards , plus 10K on my RRSP , I hope is enough to keep me afloat while I startaking money , working for a mutual fund wholeseller or an investment group . Also I used to live in delta and comute all over the lower mainland ( construcion jobs) so I used to

I've already posted a lot about CA and specifically the Bay Area / silicon valley.

It's really getting crowded and expensive there, bud. Do your homework, housing will be an enormous expense

>>843118
It's true. I'm still in my twenties and I've seen Oakland gentrify 2 or 3 times in my lifetime already.

Born and raised in varna. Nothing ever happens here and it is a part of a security mafia bubble which prevents major european projects to take place instead of the mafiosos' own private schemes.

Still, the vicinity to golden sands and sunny beach makes it an amazing place to spend the summer.

>>842138
To Europe.

You'd especially like to check out cities with students and tourists from all Europe, like Barcelona, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, or even Munich, Zurich, Vienna, etc.

>>842654
You know nothing of California. There are places where you could drive the same highway for 4 hours and see less than 8 towns the whole time. You people go to Cali and see the LA metro area, maybe the highest populated parts of the Bay and think you've seen it all... You know it takes 15 hours to drive from San Diego to the southern tip of Oregon, right?

>Singapore

>High standard of living, technocratic government does not tolerate bullshit, combines good parts of Asia with good parts of Europe, very safe.

Sweden is going to shit due to leftist politics, Singapore is probably one of the only places left on Earth where leftist bullshit is not tolerated. Bailing out as soon as I finish university.

>>842940
>headquarters
>Where the business happens
Confirmed for not gonna make it.

I moved to an isolated, mid-sized city in Northern Ontario. All of the smart, ambitious people flock to Toronto only to find that it is oversaturated with people just like them. Meanwhile there is still a lot of money to be made here and a huge gap to be filled because no one else recognizes the potential of this place. It's a nice, quiet place to live and my money goes a lot further here than it would in Toronto, and when I get bored I can hop on a plane and spend a weekend in a major city.

>>843524
Sudbury or the Soo? I work in Northern Development and Mines so I get paid to know all about you northern folk.

Anywhere but Long Island

I just moved here recently for a good paying job opportunity but I already hate myself for the decision. It's literally just an entire island of suburban wasteland. The only thing to do around here is go to restaurants and bars or malls, with shitty beaches and swampy parks.

The worst part is the rent is ludicrously expensive for no reason other than being relatively in the vicinity of NYC, but its such a cuck fuckery because it takes me an hour and costs me $20 roundtrip just to get to the city.

Literally trapped on a shit island. I hope to save enough and get out of here by six months so I don't look like a complete dick to my current company.

I will admit the food is pretty good, though.

>>841807

> Dallas

- plenty of jobs
- cool people
- warm weather
- good sports scene
- tons of hot chicks
- good balance of income and cost of living

>>843768
This. Live in Houston at the moment and you can earn good money with low cost of living, but everything else about here sucks. Plan is to move to Dallas in maybe 2 years.

>>841842
Me and the wife were planning a move to Green Bay from Chicago a few years ago but moved to Colorado Springs instead.

Green Bay is a lovely fucking place, too bad its overshadowed by the shithole that is Milwaukee

One with zero cultural enrichment.

Pittsburgh

>>844336
Southern Ontario here. Pittsburgh seems ideal to me especially from a COL standpoint. Really like that city

>>843870
whats the job market like in the springs?

were trying to get to CO here in the next year or so though

The job market is strong and its affordable to live here. Also no income tax.

>>841964

No income tax, but they make up for it by bending you over with sales and property taxes.

Tech isn't that bad either. But CO is going through a huge population boom so it's naturally crowded.

Why is it that chinese cities feel so much safer than the U.S.? Sure there may be some beggars in China but the cities in the U.S. are filled with homeless, druggies and ghetto blacks.

Tokyo

>Post why
Because there are more and more companies where you don't work 12 hours a day. Food is great, people are polite, girls are good-looking, beautiful nature around the city, never boring, good public transportation, literally almost no crimes, lots of startups, etc.

>Why haven't you moved there?
I lived there for 2 years but now came home because I'm afraid of earthquakes.

Work in Chicago, live in NW Indiana. 1 hour commute door to door.

Chicago is a great place to do business but it's expensive to live in compared to anywhere besides LA, SF, DC, and NYC. Rent downtown for a 1bd/1ba goes for 1200 at the very lowest. Only cheap places to live in the city proper are very dangerous. NW Indiana is very cheap but there are few rental opportunities that aren't in ugly/dangerous areas (I own a condo in a nice suburb)

I'm from here, and plan to make my career here. Chicago has everything you could want in a city, and living in IN means my cost of living is minuscule compared to my salary.

>>846704

Chicago has the salaries of New York though with a cheaper COL than New York.

I highly recommend living in a suburb with the local metra nearby. You can find some moderate places to rent in decent areas.

San Jose is the bomb

>>846799
factoring in taxes (especially property taxes) there is no Illinois suburb of Chicago cheaper than Munster, IN.

Plus, the South Shore Line is faster and less "culturally diverse" than the Metra

>Only cheap places to live in the city proper are very dangerous

Have you not been up to the north side? Rogers park, Logan Square and Edgewater are relatively cheap and safe. You haven't been looking hard enough.

Anyone living in Seattle care to comment? It seems like it's my ideal climate, but I don't know much about the city, like transportation, cost of living, demographics, etc.

Silicon Valley is a tech trap.
Only people getting rich there are established tech corporations and businesses designed to leach off of the tech industry.

It's like what happened to California during the gold rush. The only people to get rich were the ones who made money off the miners.

Actually it can be eerily quiet, something unimaginable in HK, and is fairly spacious. It is much more expensive, though. But another upside is that the people there don't do that awful, awful Chinese wretching-spit.
