Totally depends on your values, but Atlanta is obviously ideal as it has one of the most efficient airports in the word. It’s also low CoL and you can find plenty of space.

In town is definitely the most diverse / progressive place in the south, but the suburbs are pretty much Mississippi.

Nashville has probably the coolest music/festival scene but not as great from a business/airport perspective.

Charlotte has a good airport but it’s AA 👎🏼 otherwise probably #2 behind Atlanta in most metrics

Plies Charlotte is boring af. Will def recommend Atlanta.

Charlottesville - has its own airport to major hubs, Dulles is 90 miles away, town is amazing, you can get a lot of land and still go to the fantastic downtown restaurants.

Peachtree City area. Definitely vet the area before buying if chosing south Atlanta. Some very nice areas and some very dangerous ones as well.

Plenty of places near Charlotte in NC, if you go outside of Atlanta, to the west same thing - both major hubs

Not to be rude, but you do know "the south" isn't all cows and horses right? Take Houston for instance, you can get a house on 2 acres about 45 minutes away from the airport for like $600,000.

While not in the south, look at Oklahoma City. You can have acreage and only be 30 min to the airport. And its centrally located so you can work both coasts.

South of ATL. Look at PeachTree City, or Serenbe, Palmetto, GA. You can get lots of land. Maybe 20 to 30 minutes to Hartsfield

Huntsville, AL is an option as well

We loved the Charleston area and could have had a house on the water, boat dock, dolphins breaching the surface etc. all sounded great to my wife, but for me the airport was a deal breaker. Would have to fly to JFK to get anywhere

My dream

I’m about 1.5 hrs from the Atlanta airport and tbh your $ will most likely go a lot further here. Yeah it will take some getting used too if your not from the area but it is hard to beat the tranquility of 5 acres, just my .02

The south is going through a Renaissance right now, affordable cities with good schools keeping highly educated people around after graduation has been a boon to places like Atlanta, Raleigh, Richmond. I would put aside your biases(I definitely had some) and give a couple cities an honest look

I feel a little crazy saying this, but more money at this point doesn’t resonate. I see a ton of exit planning and boomerang threads here, but I’d take a 50% pay cut (or a 50% raise) for an exciting role. That’s totally privilege talking, but I just can’t imagine chasing extra money in PE or lateraling just for the money. No virtue signaling here at all. I actually worry on some level that I’m somehow a moron for not giving a thought to maximizing earnings.
