anon im originally from SF bay area and moved to dallas
im moving back to SF
dont take the texas/no state taxes pill lol the savings aren't worth the lack of connections/intel/entertainment/etc.

sf or ny are the best places to be in for software, leaning towards sf for early career. ny when you have more money/make it.

Anyone live in like Tennesse, WV, Kentucy, etc?

I am just about to graduate with a machine learning degree, and can really go anywhere. I'm getting tired of living in California. I just want someplace green with less people (and paler demographics). I get along great with rednecks, and im not really looking for friends/gf like anon. I just want to buy a few dozen acres, with a ponds and/or stream, where I can be left alone and be weird by myself

I love michigan, but couldnt handle the snow. Real south would be nice, like Lousiana, Georgia, etc, but the demographics can be rather skewed

Avoid eastern ky and wv. Not sure about Tennessee. It’s not rednecks. It’s white trash. They’re literally white niggers. You think they’re better because of their skin, but they are the exact thing you’re trying to avoid.

>> No.51238138

austin is based. no vax mandates (never were), economy is booming, cheap compared to the liberal shithole cities like seattle, LA, etc. everyone is friendly too and there is actually a diversity in thinking here, in that there are progressive people and conservative people, and nobody gives a shit

Hey anons, recently got a great job offer in the Melbourne FL area. Is it a complete sausage fest there? I'm from Tampa originally, so I doubt it's as good for dating, but I'd like to get into a serious relationship and settle down in the next few years. My main concerns stem from it being heavily reliant on engineering for its industry, which obviously skews male, but it's also close to Orlando, Daytona, and has beaches, so I'm not too sure what to think. If any east coast Florida chads can help a gulf coast bro out I'd appreciate it. The job offer is six figures and would give me about $60k total at signing with only requiring a one year commitment.

Nashville is probably your best bet, especially if you can work remotely
Atlanta is probably too black for you
the rest of the cities that aren’t obvious are mid quality of life at best and high crime, but you’ll be able to afford a house at least

I keep hearing about white trash, which I thought I get along with. I always thought I grew up white trash, ie going to the swap meet and yard sales on weekends. But I have a feeling my idea of white trash (the ones I encounter in california) is quite different than the white trash in the east (though I did frequenly visit family back in the hollers of kentucy, and loved it).

It's probably the same/inverse of the basketball amerians around here in cities versus the black folk in the south

i used to live in melbourne for several years. it's full of autistic engineers, yes, but that should work in your favor if you aren't completely socially awkward. there are plenty of women in the area and i never had a problem finding a gf.

judging by the signing bonus, i'm assuming this offer is from raytheon or one of the other defense contractors that have been bleeding employees. there's a reason the signing bonus is so high. i would GTFO once you get the signing bonus, you can make way more with way better conditions at any other private sector company.

Just use http://www.justicemap.org/ and move somewhere that’s all White and has an average per capita income of at least 75k. When you go on vacation and need to rent a room or want to find some entertainment options, use the map with the same 2 criteria for the best times
