Making 3x, paying lower taxes, spending less. Why would you be anything but happy for me?

Agreed with D1, the only way it would make sense for me to move is making at least 400K USD. Which the current recruiters I spoke to weren't willing to consider in this economy. Already make pretty decent salary being in canada.

Neutral. Good for them.

I was one such person (except for the praising SV part). I’ll be looking into moving back to Canada soon.

Most of the cities worth living in are coastal cities that are insanely expensive. Sure, you might get a higher pay, but WLB is generally much worse, health/dental insurance is dependent on your employers and takes a good chunk out of your paycheck. Don’t have kids yet, but i think the public education system in Canada is much better. Overall, the higher pay you get by moving here isn’t worth it based on what I value in life.

What’s wrong with SV now? It’s still booming, people making a buck while advancing their careers in a way that’s not possible anywhere else. It’s great! Also, it is Trump’s second mandate and we survived the first one just fine…

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.
