I think you can still have a decent career outside of nyc.
Move to NJ. Best of both worlds
What is so wrong with NJ? I don’t get it
One of my old tax partners suddenly passed away within a year of retiring after “grinding it out” for an entire career. Do what you love while you can.
Sadly, there have been several people I have known who have passed away this last year only one or two years into retirement (with earlier retirements). It made me realize that we shouldn’t be living for retirement as we have no clue if it is guaranteed.
Rising Star
Switch LOS a and have a successful career someplace you love living. NYC isn’t the only place to have engaging, challenging, rewarding careers.
I started out in NYC. Lived in several cities throughout my career. Your life and career are what you make them.
Move to the west coast. You get big city life, beaches, and snow/mountains all within 2 hours drive of each other in a given day, and still have the career opportunities.
Life is too short. You need to be near those things that make you happiest!
I’m sure there are going to be people encouraging you on both sides of things; personally I relocated knowing it would limit my career but offer me a better life and I’ve never regretted it. Life goes by so quickly, you never know what’s going to happen in 15 years I wouldn’t wait to start the living you want.
Life is too short to hate where you live. Bust a move.
Seattle + Amazon
What about moving North of the city where you can be near the mountains and also an hour away from work? Just a thought.
EY has offices in Charlotte, NC, Chattanooga, TN and Greenville, SC. All very close to mountains.
You’re right. Blue Ridge and Smokies are much better.
I recently made the move from Chicago to Denver
No regrets
Colorado maybe? Love it’s nature. Also a big fan of New England states
I'm the Canadian version of you. I have a similar desire and I'm in Toronto. So maybe not quite the same grind as NYC but still not great, and also Toronto area is as flat as a slightly uneven pancake.
I'm thinking about moving to the Vancouver area within 2 years for mountains.
I say go for it
