Possible move to Florida from CA
- Thread starter INDTUBE
- Start date
Don't you live in a van?
For the most Florida is hot and humid and tropical.
Hell without air conditioning.
If your primary interests are fishing, boating, and drinking go for it.
Then must go for it. You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone..
Yeah - I do live in my camper a lot of the time (love the freedom) - sold my house in CO in August and still have my place in CA - Its a CFO role that pays $400k/year + substantial equity in a Tech start-up. Just don't know if I can give up my current lifestyle and freedoms - while the pay is great - I am most interested in building something from nothing into something great - I think I have 5 years more to give to something but moving to Florida scares me as much a Pascuales at 8-10 foot.
It's full-time in Florida - I would need to move - it's a Start-up company with roadmap to going public in 18-24 months (something I have done many times over my career) - so remote working is not a possibility for the at least the first 2 years.
Understandable.
What industry is the startup in, if you dont mind sharing
the intersection of Media and Technology. I just cannot work for the big or mid-sized media Companies anymore. Big media is fucked with 20-30% layoffs expected in 2023. I could just keep doing consulting on side and surf a lot or commit to this. tough call
Could be worth it if the company actually goes public in 18-24 months (and still has value after whatever lockup period).
Pretty hard for this message board to know how likely the above scenario is
Our friends recently moved to FL. They love it. No looking back for them.
When we have a long stretch of mornings in the 40s, Florida sounds great.
Surf is pretty much horrendous. And yeah, where in Florida are you headed? The more north you go the more south it gets.
Florida is huge. Its not as big as California but the state is flat out huge. Where you're going to be stationed makes a huge difference in what your lifestyle will be. Tampa, Pensacola, Jacksonville, Miami and Orlando are all major hubs in the state and each one is vastly different than the others. Have to know where we are talking about.
Also to consider at that level of comp is the lack of state income tax in FL. That’s a lot of extra cheese annually.
I hope you're not into mountain climbing.
