Currently live in Denver and love the mountains (especially skiing in the winter). However we are getting a ton of pressure to return to the east coast due to family.

Is there anywhere we could move which compares to what we have here? The obvious choice is somewhere in the New England / north east but would love to hear from anyone who has made the change, especially specific towns/cities. Only real requirement would be an airport doesn’t have to be a huge metro (I.e., Boston)

Asheville is probably one of the closest. Skiing at Cataloochee is about an hour away. Regional airport towards Arden and not that far from Charlotte for international. Great breweries.

Boone has Beech and Sugar mountain, but doesn’t have a decent airport.

Buffalo/Rochester NY have amazing sports/ski culture with great mountains and super low COL (think 200k for 4 BR house) otherwise Vermont has Stratton and such but you also gotta have fun during the off season (hence buff/Rochester)

I love snow, so not too worried about that!

Short answer...no. In reality, NH or VT.

Is RPA sales engineering a good career pivot now? Have been in Cloud SE for 5 years and it is getting mundane. Forget about the Data and AI, realistically majority of the work is around VM migration + RFP + Pricing + pushing commit 2x more than customer's current need, instead of really adding technical and business value to the customer.

RPA seems to be on the rise, there are certainly risk but the value + technology seems to be closer to reality. Love to hear more.
