will you build another house?Probably rent at first until we become more familiar with the area and decide if we want to stay. I would build again but I guess it would depend on the housing market wherever we choose to live.

You're already moving to the southeast because the job requires it. Live, at least at the start, wherever will make your job easiest and free up the most of your own time.That would be Macon, GA.

The OP said airport convenience was a must. If you really need direct flights and fly a lot, I'd move to Atlanta...more directs than anywhere else. I think the town gets a bad rap. There is a lot to do, and there is a vibrant arts community there too. Ride the train to the airport. Easy peasy.
yeah, he also said "decent" which I think needs to be fleshed out more.

the cultural center thing is so subjective that it seems like a non-starter and having hartsfield as your home airport would suck giant balls
can't imagine someone answering "why did you move to atlanta?" with that it's the cultural center of the south, but anyway

Yeah pretty much every factor people consider when choosing where to live (outside of cost of living and maybe school test scores) is subjective. And even those factors are considered with some degree of subjectivity.

Downside is so damn far from the ocean. Closest beach is nine hours. I'd prefer to be a bit closer.
Nashville would be a better mild climate choice and it's only six hours to the beach. Still not the crap hot summer that you'll have in Georgia.

Does your company consider Louisville in the Southeast? It's Upper Midwest for my organization. Anyhow, I like it here. Summer weather isn't as extreme on the humidity side but winter can have some cold days.

KY is not considered part of the SE by the company.
I already know that my largest customer is in GA. That said, they have offices spread around the country that I will be going to as well. The policy to have the client principles live in the same region as their accounts is a new company strategy. My entire team is currently spread out across the country and are being told to move or be reassigned.

Atlanta and Houston would be great cities to live in when young and very annoying to live in with families.
They literally would be no better to live in than kc as a young person
If I were 23 and had a job I'd go right back to Boston.
let me guess why, it's because boston is the cultural center of paul revere?

when my wife and i vacationed on Tybee Island a number of years ago I was kinda fascinated by the neighborhoods along Highway 80 that runs from downtown Savannah to the beach. A quick look on Zillow tells me the area is Whitemarsh Island and Wilmington Island - it seems like a neat area that is sandwiched between the 3 things that make Savannah cool - the ocean, the river and the historic downtown.Thanks. My wife was already checking out houses in Pooler earlier today.Mild racism would be a step up from Texas. I think we're going to take a weekend trip to Savannah to check it out. It's the front runner with my wife right now.Check out Pooler and Richmond Hill areas. They're "suburbs" of Savannah and have good schools and relatively affordable real estate.

There are a lot of neat areas like that up and down the I-95 corridor within a 30 minute commute of Savannah. The weather effects are definitely a concern for the coastal communities east of I-95 and anybody who lives in one of the marshy areas will pay for it in insurance premiums. I have several friends who rent places near Midway that are in the marshy areas and they love it.
Living between Savannah and Tybee would add a few minutes to the airport commute but it's simple to get on I-16 WB and a short drive from there to the airport.

I don't know if it's great news but it's not bad news. An old boss of mine was trying to hire me to join her team. Well, she got promoted during this process and is being relocated to the west. I could take the job but I wouldn't be working for her and I couldn't transfer to her team for like 2 years. So, I'm going to wait until she's established in her new role and then join that team in 6-8 months. Would likely have to relocate west instead.

It is humid. But I can always walk down the street and jump into this alligator infested lake to cool off.

Yes, you can. The lake is called Lake Tarpon. It has skiing and what not.
I will not be skiing as the lake does have alligators.

Myrtle Beach or Jacksonville.
Both are dumps - don't move to either one of these places.

I start the new job June 1st and I have 6 months to be moved. The places I can live are a little more restrictive than I first thought. I have to live within 90 miles of a company office. Offices are in Tampa, Tallahassee, Miami, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Virginia Beach and Richmond. We want to be moved by the time school starts in the fall. We're going to go visit Tampa in June and Raleigh after that.
Greenville, SC (I lived here and miss it every day)
It's just outside the 90 miles rule you mentioned...but basically the midway point b/w Charlotte & Atlanta and a very easy drive to both cities and not a bad drive to the beach. Very close to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Beautiful drive up to the Asheville, NC area for a weekend getaway. Reasonable cost of living but some nice history and architecture. Wonderful community with plenty going on.

Roaring Gap, NC - hardly even a city...but if you can find a way to live here I recommend it.

OMG, that would be confusing as hell. I imagine people who work in one time zone and commute to the other for work or something are all mumped up.

Talked to a guy in Nashville last night who's considering quitting his gig here to go to Florida and do a couple months of contracted insurance adjusting. He says he knows someone there who can quickly get him through all the prerequisites and on to the work. He cited this article as why it's "legit."is this a pro or con for him?

I know several teachers and small church pastors that side gig as adjusters. Can't imagine dumping main job though.
You mean with respect to teachers, during summer when they're not teaching for 3 months, right? This seems like it would be something to do only if you truly had months of life to spare.

Con, when it comes to his daughter. The rest? Probably a pro, but not enough of an offsetting one.

They do it during school year as well. They run adjustments after school. Convenient for the 9-5 crowd.
Ah, so not the sort of adjusting that involves living a carney lifestyle in a faraway ravaged state.
