Best friend moved to AUS, was an M2 at PwC. Lasted 9mos and came back. Said the COL vs wages was terrible. The hours were great, but the garbage collection guys were making nearly the same as her.

Said that it was like taking a 50-60 percent payout due to the cost of living.

Now lives in Charlotte and no longer works for PwC

^ I hear the same thing from our Australia and New Zealand secondees. I never thought I'd see a housing market that made coastal California look like a good value... and then somebody showed me Auckland.

I’m confused about the proposed tax changes.

If I make for example less than $400k in wages but I sell $1.1 million in LTCG. Does that mean I follow the current LTCG rules or does it bring me up to the 40%?
