I love sunny weather so much; it significantly elevates my mood, which is a free lunch! The summer in NY was amazing but considering taking a precautionary step for the winter by relocating for a couple/few months to a sunny place like Miami. My job accommodates this.

Have you heard of anyone doing such climate-based back-and-forth? Any tips or advice? Also, how’s Miami for a New Yorker?
TIA!

I grew up in south Florida. Miami in the winter is absolutely fabulous. Id wait another month until the Florida heat cools down

Yes that too!

Why not move to the west coast if you really like the sun? Colorado and west is far more sunny than anywhere east of the Mississippi. Arizona and Southern California are ridiculously so.

What do you mean by “precautionary”? Are you expecting an usually brutal winter?

And pay twice the rent? With your job at Google, just move to west coast already.

Been there done that, north and south

Currently a first year staff in Risk Advisory in a Mid-Tier Firm hoping to move to Big 4 for either Risk or Cyber. When would be the most appropriate time to make the change? I heard that Senior Staff in mid-tier would most likely be hired as an “Experienced Hire” in Big 4. So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?
