Received an offer for GS Dallas office. NEED HELP!

Received an analyst offer for GS Dallas office.

Can you shed some light on Dallas?

What are the differences in cost of living compared to NYC?

How much does tax look like there?

Would appreciate it!

Dallas is pretty nice place to live. Uptown is where all the young professionals and 30k millionaires live. Obviously Dallas is a lot cheaper in terms of cost of living. 1k for rent will get you a really really nice place.

Do you have any idea how much tax is there?

DonVon is right. No state tax

Dallas is an awesome place to live, I grew up there. Something most people don't realize is the size of the metroplex. Basically 10-15 miles outside of city limits in every direction is nothing but cities; Richardson, Plano, Southlake, Fort Worth, etc. This adds up to a lot of people living in the area, much more than actually live in city limits, but still go out to all the bars and the night life.

Obviously much cheaper than NYC, and indeed there are no state taxes. Property taxes are higher as a result, so you can expect your rent to be a bit more expensive than other metropolitan areas (although still cheaper than NYC).

There are a lot of really wealthy people there, in part from the oil money in Texas. Night life is great in Uptown, lots of cool bars to go to. Members of the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks are frequently seen out. The crowd kinda has the southern preppy fraternity style to it; SMU, TCU, Baylor, and UT Dallas are all pretty close to the area. SMU and UTD are both in Dallas, while Baylor and TCU are within a couple hours away.

Feel free to PM if you have any other questions
