Have lived in DC the last 4 years and now looking at moving, maybe, open to anywhere but the criteria is: good job market, lower cost of living, and more nature. Currently on the list is Charlotte NC, Florida?, Austin.
others to consider ?

Lol at these ridiculous Florida recommendations. Orlando and Jacksonville are terrible. If you need to be near an office Atlanta is a good option. Lots of hiking and lakes nearby. If you are also looking at remote jobs St Pete is sweet

St Pete and Orlando aren’t really all that different culturally

Stay away from high Covid infection places like Florida, and most of the southern states. Nature? Move to Montana 😃

Atlanta, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando. Would recommend Jacksonville the highest out of the FL cities

Salt Lake +1

Orlando area has tons of gorgeous crystal clear springs that you can basically use year round since it’s always warm. Lots of opportunity for inexpensive housing but competitive job market depending on the industry. One of the fastest growing cities in the country and uniquely diverse.

That being said - Austin has tons of variety of nature, way bigger city with a more established identity, seemingly lots of job opportunities

Orlando is a shit hole. Why would you move to Florida to not be near the coast.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me with an information on how EY INDIA provides variable to employees. I know it's 0-20%, so is it monthly ? or what kind of measures they consider in order to provide variable pay.
Also, suppose the package is 6 Lakhs, so can we say that the package is 600000 + 20% of 6 Lakhs = 720000. (As EY has 20% variable Pay)

Thanks in Advance !
