Who else moved to Denver during COVID? If so, why did you choose Denver?

Me and my wife! We moved just for lifestyle reasons. We wanted better weather - less heat and humidity vs the southeast with lots of sunshine. We also wanted to be near the mountains so we could hike, ski and enjoy the outdoors. We needed to be near a major airport for work. We didn’t like the winters in the PNW. CA is too expensive and far from my family in FL. That left Denver or SLC. I’ve lived in a red state and wanted to avoid that - with the recent Supreme Court rulings I’m glad we made that call. Now we live in the mountains 45 mins from Denver and WFH. Love it here.

Wow, that's awesome! I moved here because of the weather too, coming from Maine and I was tired of the harsh winters. Are you around Colorado Springs?

Lifestyle. We spent 10 years in Chicago and it was incredible. Eventually we found ourselves taking vacations to places for outdoor recreation and wanted to be able to spend our weekends doing these things. Not that you can’t ride a bike or ski in the surrounding Chicago area but it’s not the same. We had Denver, SLC, San Fran and LA on the shortlist. Wife got an amazing job offer in Denver and I can live anywhere near an airport. We live in a downtown neighborhood on the north side and absolutely love it.

Chicago: Wicker Park -> Denver: Sunnyside. Have other friends who did the same move but Chicago: Lincoln Park to Denver: Wash Park.

We are kind of hipsters and they’re kind of preppy. I don’t find Denver granola at all. Depending on your definition of grunge, places like Cap Hill are definitely more fringe but it’s harmless. Move to the Cherry Creek (not the suburb) or Country Club neighborhoods in Denver and you’ll be perfect!

And now I’m trying to decide if I want to take a big pay cut and start over in a data analytics role. Just feeling sort of lost 😭

So I recently found out that a coworker of mine is making more $$ and is at a higher level when it comes to our bonus payouts. I've been in my job for almost 3 years and basically got thrown under the bus the first 11/2 years because of lack of training and COVID. Since the new coworker started my group has had more "training sessions" in the last 4 months than I've ever had in the previous 2 years.

Seeing your guys posts have me really sad.. So I started at Rite aid 3 years ago at start of Covid when I lost my job (factory) closed with no experience or training.. I’m now MI state licensed, not nationally certified. I fought with the union to get raises in our district and they did give us pay raises on the first of the 2022 year. so making 13.50 with a 25 cent pay raise a year.. I love my job and coworkers and my pharmacist.. but seeing these pay rates y’all have I’m very disappointed.

Isn't it annoying that EY takes total 3 months for appraisals . 1 month to discuss performance and convey the ratings, then 1 month for bonus payout and then again 1 month to reveal hikes. Why can't they just do it all at a go and finish the suspense. We need to wait for 3 months to decide our next course of action.
