My hometown! I live in Jacksonville now so I cannot really speak to the housing market but I do visit often as my family still lives there. It has really grown in the past 10+ years. Some of the best beaches in the world, especially because they’re not as crowded as other parts of Florida. (Same gorgeous beaches as Destin/30A if you are familiar, but less tourists. ) The downtown area - Palafox Street - has nice restaurants, bars, retail. Believe there are some new apartments and townhomes downtown that would be very walkable to courthouse. East Hill is a very nice, homey / historic area to live that is not too far from downtown either. In some ways, still a very conservative town that has its “good old boy” network, but it has progressed since I’ve lived there. Definitely has a southern feel to it, being so close to Mobile, AL. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Goodness gracious! This is fantastic. Thank you for the locations info. I'll look around there. I desperately need a room since the clerkship starts in just over 2 weeks. I am so looking forward to the beach time.

Well, I mean, it’s in Florida. That’s the biggest con I can think of.

No, just lived there for a number of years. It really is the shithole it’s made out to be.

I was offered a promotion but due to internal policies the max comp they could offer was way under market value. I countered and was denied. I took time to think about it, being disappointed I applied for other jobs. Monday came and I decided to accept the offer. A week before starting my new position I got a call for one of the jobs I applied for. I am now going through to the last round of interviews the same week I start my new position. Would it be bad practice to accept another offer now?
