I’m in a pickle about moving to Miami and or San Diego- fell in love with the coconut grove and coral gables area (it’s super expensive looking at prices online). Visited San Diego earlier in the year and loved it out there as well. I want to do 3-4 months in each spot . Would this be possible without totally killing my bank account -(make 105k). If I started my trek may 1 which would be the best spot to go first .

Start with Miami, if you’re serious about wanting to live there you gotta test it out for the summer see how you can fare against the heat index, humidity, etc. San Diego is much more stable in terms of temp

It’s not a few k, it’s up to like 10% difference + COL differences. It’s a huge financial benefit to be in Miami vs Cali.

You said the politics suck, that’s fine, that’s subjective.

As someone born and raised Miami, I am never outdoors in the summer unless I’m at the beach. Can’t speak to racism towards blacks, but certainly none towards we Latinos here, luckily

Start in Miami since it's hottest and more humid there plus you'll get summer rain season. so you'll experience living in those extremes. SD is more mild and less rainy.

Note that in Miami you'll experience the first part of hurricane season, but not the tail. I think most major storms have been trending toward end of the hurricane season, but I may be wrong.

BCG1 - 30A area? Might be my 2nd favorite part of Florida besides Captiva/Sanibel

Miami better for living, San Diego better for temporary stay in the summer IMO.

Miami will have tax benefits, and culture is better (international, etc). But if just for the summer then probably San Diego (will likely be cooler weather)

From a die hard Miami fan, and native

Miami is the best city in the US, all in all, but a 3 month stay in the summer is different

I can see how that could be beneficial - thanks M2

If you wind up liking Florida, but not Miami SoFla, try out St. Pete / Tampa.

Miami. CA homeless issue is out of control and weather and fun is awesome in Fl and no state income taxes🌈

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
