Seattle, probably the worst cities in the country

KPMG1 - Why is that?

SF is great but the cost of living there is absolutely ridiculous and not worth it. Do LA or Seattle

Do LA. You won’t be able to live in SF and Seattle is meh.

LA has the worst traffic

Traffic is relevant; still need to get to the airport. And unless you stay home all weekend you still need to deal with traffic

Traffic isn’t an easy during the weekends nor when you’d get flights. I’ve been a consultant here for over two years.

You can survive LA traffic. It really isn’t that bad. Also SF has traffic too and it’s worse cuz less detour options

LA still - mid 30s with family - I’m thinking LA might be the young mans scene?

Nah. LA is so big you can find “your” area. South Bay, Pasadena, the Valley, West LA have a ton of families.

Traffic isn’t an issue*

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
