Anyone live in FLL? Thinking about moving down to ditch the NE winters and live the 🛥🏖🏄‍♂️ life. How’s the young professional scene? Looking for somewhere more laid back than Miami.

Have a 3rd home (condo) there. It’s on the beach, which I really enjoy. Lauderdale is more laid back than Miami but still very active. Good arts / theater venues. Good restaurants - Las Olas area is great. A1A a bit touristy but Ft. Lauderdale beach is fantastic. Airport is good and very easy to access. I’m early 40s for point of reference. Plan to snowbird once the kids are off to college.

Thanks everyone. Going to give FLL a try, likely going to get a short term rental for a couple of months to make sure I like it.

Also, anyone have a perspective on boat ownership? Debating joining a boat club vs. buying. Thinking in the 33-38 ft range.

Nice , how’s Tampa ?

like

I’ve been in Tampa for 9 years. I like the west coast way better than east. Also, Tampa is top 3 cities on all investor lists right now. Great place to move to.

I have lived in jacksonville and although more laid back that Ft lauderdale, the young crows is growing really fast.

Get a rental down there for a few month- before season- and see how you like it.

I live in suburbs of FLL, just moved here from NJ. Love it, get the best of both worlds, travel for work to great places, on the weekends and remote weeks get to hang out in my pool or at the beach. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hey I also just moved to FLL suburb about a year ago and doing the travel thing from here is great. Airport is convenient but not sleepy, and my only “regret” is that it’s already been a year and of course because of the job I don’t get to do Florida stuff as much as I would like to. That being said, getting on a flight to FLL EVERY TIME I need to go home is pretty great!

This! I want that pinch me feeling when I get off the plan!

St Pete is great

Fort Myers but old people vibes sometimes

Ft Myers is a lot of old people vibes 😂

Look south of Miami. It’s close to the Keys and very laid back. FLL in my biased opinion is “spring breakers gone wild surrounded by their grandparents”

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
