Rank by my preference (moved from NYC 3 years ago)

1. Coconut Grove
2. Coral Gables
3. Edgewater

But strong preference for the first two, was living in Brickell and then moved to Coconut Grove but close to coral gables

likehelpful

The grove is much more walkable. The gables can be but only if you’re nearer Miracle Mile or downtown gables.

I see a lot of families in Midtown as well if you’re looking for more of a walkable place, BUT I know the best schools are in Coral Gables area. Coconut Grove is also nice!

Factor in the cost for private education into your budget. The Miami public schools suck

like

Did you mean to write “top < 100” like “less than”? Because the Miami public schools are def less than top 100. With the exception of MAST (math and science which used to be a magnet but is now accessible to Key Biscayne rich kids) they are not great. And there are very few good private schools, making it very competitive for the best ones (Ransom, Carrollton, Country Day, Gulliver)

coconut grove!

Depends on what you like / don’t like about NYC. Provide a little more insight, and I could make some suggestions.

Not as bad as ocean drive but it’s Miami Beach so think about your drive to get out/ of Miami Beach when gets flooded and if your car is high enough to pass over that

Overtown

I know it’s gentrified-ish now but WHY? I would recommend FTL or BCT before I said this🤦🏽‍♀️

Any consulting companies with offices in the Bay Area feel they have a good in-person work culture? Being able to connect with colleagues matters a lot to me and I’m hoping to hear which companies have a strong and connected community out by SF! :)

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

How is Deloitte India and Cisco in-house legal from work life balance standpoint?

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
