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.

Dallas is an excellent choice. It’s still relatively low cost, has a major airport. And it’s growing big time- certainly immigrant friendly and great place for a single person

Fort worth is awesome. Low key, very friendly, more western/cowboy vibe than Dallas. My SO and I love it there but most of the work was in Dallas. Traffic and commuting between can be hard. DFW is right between them though and you would be approaching from the lower traffic side.

Not sure about diversity there, I think Dallas probably has them beat on that point.

Tampa

anywhere that's not low lying... so avoid st Pete Beach, downtown Tampa is low lying as well.. the Tampa burbs however,....... Wesley Chapel, land o lakes, Brandon, citrus Park, Carrollton, etc etc...

I would choose Richmond, VA because I love my home state. The COL is very reasonable, and it's driving distance to lots of great cities in VA, the Chesapeake Bay, hiking trails, etc. Richmond has solid concert venues; good restaurants, bars, breweries, and cafes; and a surprisingly great art museum.

It's not next to a major airport (Richmond international is only named so because of flights to like the Bahamas, but you can definitely connect via Charlotte and other major airports or drive to Dulles for a true international airport).

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours.

Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

It may seem obvious, but in my experience partners value trial experience over anything else, so get it however you can.

Even trying a case and losing gives you credibility at my firm because you still did it.
