It completely depends but we have the same TC and family size and love our life in LA. We feel like we are already on vacation a lot of the time.

Replying to this to say that my spouse and I have similar TC to you and we lived in west LA (Culver City) when we had only 1 kid. We now have 3 kids and live in the valley. We only moved to be closer to my husbands job but that has ceased to be a factor. I highly recommend LA - there are several places you could live on the west side or close by and have a very enjoyable setup. Plus you can’t beat the weather.

Boston is exceptional if you anticipate having a very boring lifestyle. It’s a soulless and stifling place otherwise.

What do you want out of a city? These are all such different options it’s impossible to rank.

What is most impt to you op?

Austin

Miami

I did the same back in 2020. Even after the price increases I am still saving a ton on top of the 12% immediate tax savings moving out of NYC.

Boston

Where are your friends? What about the rest of your families?

Seattle. I live in DC do not recommend anymore.

C2 for no state income taxes,

If you have that salary and a car. Move to LI, NY. Good schools, but high taxes. Or Westchester ny. Both only a train ride to the city.

Yeah you can ignore this advice, OP. The city is very safe overall, and you can mostly avoid a few neighborhoods at odd hours and be fine.

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
