Can't take NYC and it's covid hysteria. Texas is too ugly and flat. Where to?
What are the best banking groups in areas not off their rocker post covid?
Just visited family where covid isn't even a thing on peoples mind over holidays, back in a blue state and depressed af now.
Any good groups in Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming Arizona etc?
Texas is the natural answer but the land is too flat and boring for me....
Carolinas, Atlanta, Tampa (less trashy Miami), Denver, Chicago (mayor tried to implement but the people don’t seem to care), Austin (decent nature here compared to Dallas), Boston
Boston is worse than NYC with covid lol. Mask mandate has be in effect since August.
Boston is a no go. The new sjw mayor seems like she's going full hysteria in the city..
And we get to start vaccine passports in a week and a half
Chicago is quickly becoming NYC with mandate BS, that's why I'm leaving.
charlotte is fun
I've honestly never been. Maybe I should check out.
I don't care if people vote Democrat, I just want to be in a place where people are happy, smiling, and optimistic, not ocd germphobes and constantly talking about mandates, if its safe to have a holiday party, is it safe to gather in the conference room...just so damn depressing and there's a general feeling of doom and gloom I've never seen before in nyc. The vibrant energetic energy is gone.
You should. Not really a conservative bastion, but the finance circle here definitely is. COVID is pretty much disregarded in every way + lower COL/taxes.
I second Charlotte. I go to college around there and the city is growing fast. BofA is headquartered there. While it's not a NY powerhouse like GS or JPM, it's a solid BB. I know some guys there and they like it, plus cost of living is relatively low.
Miami.
D.A Davidson has some offices in Idaho/Montana. Not sure which teams sit there
Will either be moving to Florida or buying a second home there before the end of my life. Politically trending in the right (pun intended) direction and still ~80 degrees in winter. Not to mention baddies everywhere you look. What’s not to like?
Finance, professional services, and technology are centered in areas governed by Democrats.
Personally, nobody cared that much about COVID in NYC until the new variant hit, and several people I know caught it. And if you ignore COVID after you or someone you know has it then that's ignorant imo.
Lol, I like the little nuanced jab at all the people who throw logic out the window once someone they know has Covid. Drumpfy the Troll everyone, posting super left wing comments but only to mock them.
California was built over 150 years by Republicans and moderate Democrats. The idea that the current progressive Left of the Democrat party would take credit for California's economic powerhouse beggars belief (Silicon Valley was a technology center for 40 years before the Dems took it over in the mid-1990s). All of those poor states in the SE were governed by Democrats from the late 18th to late 20th century and only recently (in the last generation) kicked out the Democrats from governance. It's going to take several generations for them to build up their infrastructure and economic power.
I thought Texas was all flat for the longest time and had the mentality that I would never live there for that reason. While it does not have the terrain of the Rocky Mountains, it's not all flat and has some diverse terrain. I'm leaving Chicago for same reason you're looking to get out of NYC and heading to TX, spend a year there to see if I like it. Spend some time in Austin and Dallas if you haven't already. The other cities I considered were Nashville and Charlotte but I want to be closer to the Rockies.
What's unfortunate is all the banking jn Texas is in Houston and Dallas (not Austin or other more scenic areas).
