Why I moved to a state with no state taxes. No regrets

58% Living in IL. Paying state taxes in IL even if I am working on another state. The worst!

Was 69% but now 65% bc social security just reset for the year. Colorado for me.

Close to 80%, maybe more, because I live in a tax haven.

What are the tax heavens?

Are there any pros to staying at a company and getting laid off, vs. proactively looking for a new job and quitting before it happens? I.e., financial (possibility of receiving severance or any other benefits). Or is being laid off just all bad? I don’t know if my job is at risk — I don’t believe it is — but my agency lost some clients and is talking about cost cutting to be safe and get ahead of it. Fwiw, I’m ready for a change anyway.
