Hi folks, my SO and I can now both WFH forever. We’re both in consulting and our teams mostly work in EST hours. We’re looking for a city to move to, any recommendations? Definitely open to other timezones.

We need to be around great Asian food & some city life.

Thanks so much!!!

Honestly, Albany, NY is pretty great if you don’t mind a smaller city. Center Square charming and historic, your a 10 min uber and 2 hr train to the city, plus easy access to Adirondacks and such if hiking is your thing. Less than 30 min to a small “international” airport. Most of the outer neighborhoods are also quite nice too. Plus the COL is likely going to be a lot less than bigger cities.

Tbh Virginia arlington ? Falls church is quite affordable.. it’s a 20 mins drive to dc that has great food and nightlife and it’s really safe and rent is really affordable … real estate - you can get a nice house for 600-700k

That’s the problem. Very hot, humid summers and cold winters. Feels like there’s only a few weeks each year where it’s actually nice outside. Not to mention all the pollen in springtime

Potential hot take recommendation: New Orleans

If you don’t mind the occasional flood and hurricane and a poorly run government, it’s a really fun, friendly city. There is a variety of incredible food, including Asian food (especially in the east & the West Bank) due to a large Vietnamese population. I dream about Dong Phuong’s king cake at least once a month.

Fairfax/Tysons Corner/Arlington VA. Close to DC and affordable housing relative to NY/SF

In all seriousness, Oklahoma City. They’ve grown so much. Very large Vietnamese population, an Asian district, great food, parks and low cost of living.

Denver is amazing

I second denver. Asian food is good, you get a mix of city life and outdoors. Taxes aren’t so bad

Lima

Western NC

I grew up in Asheville, NC and I don’t recommend it actually. They haven’t updated the infrastructure to deal with the massive influx of people moving to the area and it is absolutely terrible. Also housing prices are literally insane. Visit western NC - don’t live there.

Assuming everyone performed anywhere from good to great, would a lot of managers feel it would make them look bad to let all 5 have a good review?
