I used to live there. Barely any career opportunity except biotech and Qualcomm. That's why I left. Great lifestyle though. Depending on what you are looking for

SD might be cheaper than Boston for rent purposes, but we only pay 5.15% flat on our income taxes in MA.

Beach life! Outdoor activities like hiking, surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing etc. Vibrant bar scene too, if you're into that. Where are you moving from OP?

One of my bffs grew up there and all the local younger ppl who are unmarried leave SD and stay w friends in LA during the weekends when they want to go out. It's a great lifestyle and beautiful place but not the most happening place in terms of nightlife / dating

I love the water, but I'd do Colorado over California. I love Denver

D2 - I love traveling, so the lack of projects is actually a plus for me.

I like it here. We need a happy hour for the Boston fishes. We need a Boston RDT.

Couldn't agree more!

Snow day tomorrow aka working from home!
