Want to live in Montana - how to get there?

Incoming analyst at EBRX, realized I fucking hate the city after this summer.

Okay w/ doing 2 years but ultimately see myself enjoying life most living in the Rockies - all my hobbies are mountain related. Not limiting myself to Montana, but Utah, CO, Idaho, Wyoming etc, would be nice.

What's the best way to make a solid income in these areas? Not sure what the finance field looks like.

Obviously not expecting to live like a king, but ~$150-200k would be nice.

Do what everyone else in your situation does. Work in the city for a few years then start your own fund in Montana (I personally prefer Aspen, CO…).
