The question is where you're moving from and what do you hope to gain out of moving to Atlanta?

Midwest. Better climate. Better setup (family reasons). Better opportunity to join a country club.

ATL is the best, still a good place to live and relative low cost of living, not as good as 5-10 years ago but still good. If you have the $ to buy a house just do it; it is becoming a good place to live but in route to getting expensive - I would say good moment to “invest”…Consider schools, living ITP obviously, and your industry alignment; there is an amazing D network here

Oh! And tier 2 country clubs - Indian Hills is in east Cobb/walton HS district. There’s some more up further near Roswell/cherokee county (Brookfield country club is also going to be close and in a good area), and of course some that are closer to the city. But you can live literally in the golf course and have a great environment and space for kids in a well protected friendly neighborhood

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
