What’s the best place to live in post-MBA? Places I’m considering (living in a major city is a must for me): NYC, SF Bay Area, DC, LA, Seattle, Boston.

Do not live in SF

like

Sure, if you want to be surrounded by an unclean but expensive city, with dead energy levels, then be my guest

like

Chicago. All/more amenities than any of those except NYC and cheaper than most of those to live in the heart of the city. Been here 8.5 years and love it.

like

28 years in SoCal before Chicago, 10 of those in LA.

D1 - plenty of all that in Illinois but without the elevation. I miss the Sierras far more than I miss the beach.

Those are all wildly different places. What do you want in a city? What would excite you to live there? All of those cities have big job markets but nuance to what you find in them. They also have very different vibes and different levels of access to things like hiking, mountains, etc.

I'm gonna say consider Chicago. It's all the best parts of NY, none of the trash.

like

Chicago, Austin, Nashville (not sure if this counts as major)

like

I would say DC

like

SF, if you know people. And proper SF, not the rest of the Bay Area lol

I love SF. I live in Nob Hill. Don’t @ me

What are you looking for personally and professionally? As others intimated, these cities vary and the people you will meet will be different.

I like using Salesforce and I would like to carve out a career path with it, but I feel that I am being overlooked because of my lack of formal SF experience.

I’m negotiating my salary, and I’m curious what a reporter/digital editorial lead makes at your company? I have 15+ years of experience in employee communications and TV news, and I live in the Seattle area. I think I’m being shortchanged bc I’m asked to do some of my previous manager’s responsibilities (he was promoted), but I’m paid as a reporter. I report to my director who reports to our SVP, and I’ve worked for this Fortune 20 company for 10 yrs. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

Had a consultation with an attorney for legal advice on my options to address a late filing for a taxable event. They recommended me two options: file or not file. In order to help him with the consultation he asked to send him additional information like bank statements and work authorization which I sent.

If I decide to not file or go to another attorney if the fees are high, can the attorney still report me or whistle blow me to the tax authorities?
