Traditional IRA/401k is the most reasonable retirement plan

Telling IB analysts to go the roth route is bad advice. You get taxed to death in NYC, and roth just assumes taxes will be worse when you retire. But this won't matter since you aren't retiring in NYC. You're off to tax havens like Florida. You withdraw your retirement earnings and have to pay lower taxes (assuming you have a reasonable cost of living). Am I wrong?
