im a 24 year old, software engineer working in NYC working at a corporate office.

I fucking hate corporate and being a wagecuck. I want to go back to my hometown of Miami (homestead area), get a nice big place for cheap (instead of this 2k rent for a studio in manhattan), and work on my own company while maintaining myself with a low responsibility IT job.

Does this seem like a good idea or am I crazy?

No it doesn't sound crazy

Wageslaving to pay 2k rent sounds crazy

Is the cubicle hell meme real? I see the cliche all the time in movies and shows.

if you have money saved up, then i don't think it's crazy.

especially if you have a plan.

Just make sure you can build up actually valuable skills and put as many years you can stomach into your Resume as possible, while having a LOT of savings to fund your business ventures. (I'd say 100k in the bank to act as an emergency fund/startup fund to pay off long term loans)

Once you have that starter hump done (the first couple of years post college where your resume is pretty shit) you'll have a good backup to go to if your business dreams go tits-up, (a failed start-up is still a good thing on your resume in the corporate/silicon valley worlds) which means you'll be more willing and able to take risks that will benefit you immensely if your business is successful.

Tl;dr - just make sure you have the proper experience/savings and a plan before you chase the business dream in Miami.

25% of my income is what I like to pay in rent. Right now its 50% so yeah ,it sucks.

>>1729952
you do alot of work that you might not give a any shits about. a lot of office politics. everyone is just trying to get a promotion all the time.

broadly speaking, adding tech to farming. very untapped.

You are a wantrepreneur OP.
Either do something about being a wagecuck, or learn to suck it up.
No one cares if you whine but do nothing to change your position in life.

I have the opposite situation. Living in North Carolina rather cheap and making decent money as a software engineer, but wish I had lived in a much larger city at some point.

I am working on my own thing on the side, hopefully it will work out.

Like some other fag said, grass is always greener.
