Has anyone worked for a CA firm while living in CA, then continue to work for that firm remote? I am inquiring re: the tax implications and if CA will still try/be able to collect taxes even when my address, etc. changes. Thanks!

Please don’t shoot the messenger, but I think you’ll still be taxed because it’s income from a California source. I would consult with an expert but this is what I found online:

“Generally if you work in California, whether you're a resident or not, you have to pay income taxes on the wages you earn for those services. That's due to the “source rule”: California taxes all taxable income with a source in California regardless of the taxpayer's residency.”

It’s also notoriously difficult to change your residency for CA tax purposes. The address on your drivers license, etc. is only one factor. I read a tax case recently where the state was able to obtain cell phone records to determine how many days the person spent in the state even when they bought a home in Florida and changed all their addresses to Florida. I really think it’s worth getting an experts opinion if your tax savings would be significant.

I’m working remote for CA, and then moving to CA. My taxes are based on where I live (which is not CA at the moment)

not yet. Hopefully I will be soon!!

You should definitely be paying CA taxes if your employer is based in CA no matter where you live. You may receive an offset come tax time if you also pay taxes in your home state.

Can someone give me an idea of what your investments look like? I’ve done large deposits and never touched again however, I am thinking I should start DD right into a vanguard account from my paychecks but I really don’t know how much and what to deposit into. Current investments are into an expensive roboadvisor which is ok, but I’m trying to find other investment strategies that aren’t so aggressive or expensive. Currently make about 230TC with base and bonus and max out 401k. TIA
