I can’t understand people who willingly relocate to the southwest or Texas. How do you put up with 100F or 120F in Phoenix? Can you even go outside between May-September?
I live in Seattle so we get shit on for 7-8months of rain but at least we can just throw on a raincoat

It’s a dry heat.

likefunny

It's not the same heat but it's still a heat. I hated it, it was too much. You can't really be outside in it. The only nice thing is you don't walk anywhere in Texas so you very rarely have to endure it for too long.

A friend from Arizona told me dry heat is worse, because you’re constantly dehydrated and your skin gets messed up from the lack of humidity.

Nah just drink water.... Dry cold is 100x worse. Wet heat/ dry cold are the worst

Some people like the heat. A lot of my family lives down there and they’re all fine with it. Folks tend to stay inside during the hottest times of day and go out in the mornings / evenings. Personally I don’t enjoy the heat and would never want to live there again

Move to CA and you’ll get good weather with like 7-8 days of rain a year

I feel the same way about people living in Seattle. You cannot pay me enough to live in the winter gloom, however beautiful the place may be. It is good though that people have different preferences. That way our population stays distributed across the country.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
