No state income tax and way lower property taxes. Everything is clean in the suburbs. Moved from Chicago where several friends have been mugged or knived, including one of my MDs, so glad I feel safer here. I’m sure the Chicago suburbs are just as safe as the Dallas suburbs though so it’s not apples to apples. I moved from downtown Chicago to suburbs of Dallas and love it here.

Yes compared to Chicago

Moved from a Chicago suburb right before COVID hit and love the weather (yes, I know summers are super hot but I prefer it over the cold winter), the safety, my large house (managed to buy before the spike) and the numerous year around activities that I can do (golf, tennis). I really miss natural beauty but not like Chicago had a bunch. And yes, no state income tax and moderate property taxes

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid
