Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.
So here are my questions.
How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.
When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Detroit. Those who laugh haven’t been there recently.
Most of the cities listed in this thread a MCOL - if you are really remote find a cool loft in Detroit and if/when you have kids move right up the road to Grosse Pointe.
The airport is world class, a Delta hub, with direct international flights all over the planet.
Check it out, seriously.
Hahaha. I live in Detroit now and would never recommend it to anyone if they could live someplace else
I'm moving to Charleston which fits most of these

Found a place downtown walking distance to a couple of nice restaurants. Has great potential for rental if we get boring and move to Mt pleasant ;)
Low COL - Denver and Austin
This was true maybe 5 years ago lol. Even Denver is past being LCOL now
Metro Charlotte - could live on the lake or in the county and still be 30 minutes tops from the airport.
Bang for your buck in some of the suburb-type communities is very high
Thanks P1. Completely agree, just was wondering if I was missing anything

Honestly, Indianapolis comes to mind. I lived there with my husband from 2013-15.
It is super affordable with an awesome local restaurant and bar scene.
While the surrounding areas are different, Indianapolis itself is super diverse. This is driven by the presence of the pharmaceutical industry, Cummins engines, and the significant number of colleges and universities in driving distance.
You’re also a 3 hour drive from Chicago if you ever want to fly out of ORD or MDW
Phoenix, Atlanta, Raleigh/Durham areas. Should be easy enough to find something affordable in/near town.
The major cities in Ohio could work if you’re ok with seasons (cold). Minneapolis is also very nice if you can deal with the cold. New Orleans is a very fun place if you don't like the cold since you are working remotely but you definitely need to like the culture. Memphis offers a slower pace of life and no state income tax on wages and is incredibly cheap. St. Louis also fits the bill as could Louisville, KY or Fort Worth, TX or San Antonio, TX.
Columbus is great although SM1 is right about the airport. For a centrally located city you almost never find any direct flights. Incredibly frustrating.
My favorite smaller cities:
Eugene, OR
Chico, CA
Portland, ME
Providence, RI
Chattanooga, TN
Flagstaff, AZ
Madison, WI
Victoria, BC
Columbia, SC
Santa Fe, NM
Reno, NV
Bellingham, WA
Atlanta fits the bill.
Agree, I used to live there and loved it.
Wish I had bought a place in Virginia highlands, I love that community
Minneapolis is a great spot with a bunch of F500 companies
Get a nice parka and gloves lol
def upcoming. we are buying in Baltimore. Victorian style brownstone. Hoping it will be worth a million in 10-15 years or less.

If wfh takes off, people aren’t going to live in Baltimore. They will live in safer suburbs or safer cities. People on this app are too young and don’t realize people over 30 - those with kids and who buy expensive apartments - prioritize safety a lot. Real estate experts are extremely bearish on Baltimore in the 2020s.
Minneapolis, Atlanta, maybeee Miami but the COL is higher, Phoenix/surrounding suburbs are DEF up and coming especially for the work remote crowd.
I really like Tampa. Have told my husband if we could work remote and had kids, it would be a top choice. Amazing multicultural food scene, solid airport, so close to great beaches, and decent COL. Plus no state income tax is great.

Austin, Charlotte. Phoenix if you don’t mind the desert because property is plentifuuuuul
Minneapolis, Charlotte, Nashville (unsure about immigrants tho)
Google tells me Milwaukee and Baltimore. Might be worth looking into.
I would’ve thought P1’s recommendations, though.
I think Baltimore is charming AF. People said these same things about DC (I’m a native) and look at it now. The median price for a home is 1 million dollars. If Baltimore’s new mayor can make sound desicion a that create economic growth in partnerships with local community and outside investors it might be fine.

LA
I feel sorry for Louisiana, always getting the short end of the stick
Atlanta. Charlotte. Tampa. For warmer destinations If you don’t mind cold, agree with Detroit recommendation.
Philly is relatively cheap (similar to Baltimore) and has a good Domestic Airport. Just don’t be a cowboys fan though
Buffalo 🦬
