Where should I move after getting my MBA?

What's up brahs. I live in California right now. **** is getting pretty ****ty here. I'm also currently working on my MBA. Once graduate i'm hoping to get out of California. Somewhere where the economy is good and cost of living is not horrible. The only other musts I have is that the Summer cannot be too long (my gf cannot stand the heat) and my the winters cant be too brutal (i hate the cold).

What does the MISC recommend? Repping all serious answers that come with good reasons.

Nowhere liberal or left-leaning, that's for sure.

I don't know but the best move would be to go wherever you get the best job offer. I'm pretty sure companies like to hire candidates directly out of MBA programs. Have you done any internships or had the opportunity to network with and get to know people at any companies you want to work at? I think hustling and using the MBA program as leverage to find a job will be better than moving somewhere and then trying to establish yourself. Something to think about...

Seriously, get a job there first before you move anywhere

I’ve been a republican my whole life bro. I did not make California the way it is, and I’m for sure not sticking around on this sinking ship.

I was already 35 with 2 kids and a wife in residency when I went back to school for my MBA. So I didn't move when I finished. Most of my classmates did what LordBroly said. They went where the opportunity was best.

You'll have to see what fields of business interest you, and maybe where your GF is willing to go?

Remember, your first job is unlikely to be your last, so maybe have fun. Look for work in Europe or China or Japan or ... .
Covid makes it tricky, but I"d say live a little before you settle down and become a married old fart with kids (aka, me).

thanks for the serious response. I’m working full time so I don’t know how many internships I will be able to do while I complete my program. I am definitely going to look into it though to see if I can pick up anything in the evenings. Either way, I would definitely have a job before I moved anywhere. So it would be a career move, but I want some ideas of places to look at jobs and apply. I’m definitely considering the Idaho area. I’d like to live semi close to a larger city, so I can go into town and have fun. I like concerts and playing sports. Boise has a good indoor soccer community it looks like.

And don’t worry you misc ****ers..I would never bring California liberal politics where I go. I’ve been a republican longer than most of you have been into politics. So chill.

So just keep moving until every place is a POS. Sounds like a good idea.

lol that’s my plan bro. I am too much of a planner to ever move somewhere without something already set up. I’m definitely considering the Idaho area though. I know you guys don’t like outsides but I think I would fit in because i love the outdoors and I hate liberals lol.

man japan would be awesome! I stopped by there on my way home from Thailand a couple years ago and I loved it. Would I be able to manage without knowing Japanese though? I know my gf would be a fan of the cold weather.

You sound salty bro. What is wrong? You think it’s my job to fix a place that I didn’t **** up? I am a hard worker, pay my taxes, and give back to my community. I can’t help that I’m surrounded by idiots that think giving politicians more money is a good idea and will solve any problems. Stay out of my thread with your negativity or I will neg you. (Srs). I’ve spent a lot of time in Florida btw. I love it there, maybe I’ll move there just to piss you off. The only thing is you would realize I’m a benefit and not a detriment.

you realize that 4.5 million people voted for Trump in California right? Thats only 100k less than the amount of people who voted for him in Florida. Man I know there is stereo types about the Florida man, but cmon dude you shouldn’t make it this obvious.

No prob. Yeah, Boise sounds like it fits what you're looking for. Since it's a college town I'm sure there will always be plenty to do there. As for interning on top of ft work and study, that sounds pretty tough. Not sure it's worth it if you're already pretty well set up. Maybe just check out the recruiting/networking events your school hosts and reach out to alums at places that seem interesting. What's people's take on SLC? I've never been to Utah (or spent any time in the West, really) but it seems like a nice place if you're active and into the outdoors. Boulder/Denver area also seems great.

What region do you live in? I've spent a decent about of time on the east coast but it's mostly been in florida. I would be interested in the south for the hospitality and low cost of living, but i don't my gf/future wife could handle the humidity. Maybe closer to the pan handle? I took a quiz online that said Chicago might be more my vibe but i'm not sure.

My sister lives in SLC and i love it there! I'm definitely considering Colorado too.

My university has a pretty big alumni. even in my cohort there are some VPs of banks, so i think i should be able to find some decent opportunities after i graduate. at a bare minimum, an entry level analyst until i can work my way up into a more prominent management position.

Nice, man. Having those kinds of people in your cohort is so clutch. That's 50% of the value of an MBA, right there.
To me, the West has always been really intriguing. I think it's the mix of the slower pace of life, outdoor attractions (something I haven't fully gotten to explore yet), and the climate/landscape. Something about all that is just very appealing to me. I used to live on the east coast but I live in South Africa now.

What are you trying to do post MBA? Part of the problem is that most MBA recruiting is regional to your school, so it may be harder to get jobs in different states with no network there. The good news is you have time to expand your network to those potential states/cities. The two biggest besides NY and CA is Texas and Florida. I think Dallas is probably the best bet even if it is warm during the summer. Texas has been crushing it and will most likely dominate the next decade as you have great jobs there, great purchasing power there, and decent weather relative to the rest of the US. I've heard good things about Miami and Tampa but the issue with them is jobs. Yes your first job may be decent there but are there enough good jobs in the region to move to a good company outside of your first job. The other area I've heard decent things about is Raleigh and Charlotte, both growing quickly, good jobs, and moderate weather.

However, if you can get a great paying job in California why not just stay.

South Africa? That is awesome bro. My old roommate/ pledge bro is from Zim. I'd love to visit africa one day. What's business and the economy like over there right now? The west is a beautiful region. It's just getting pretty expensive out here, and the yearly fires are getting to me. They have ruined a large part of many of our summers. Plus i have zero faith in many of our political leadership here in California. Even our republican governors have sucked. I want to move on to greener pastures but find a place close enough to a city where i can still enjoy the occasional concert/rave/festival and play adult recreational spots (besides all the other outdoor recreational activities).

If i stayed in California, i'm pretty confident i could land a high paying job with my current employer right now but in another department as an account analyst/project manager. It wouldn't be bad since I know I have job security and i'm on track to retire early. If I moved for a new job opportunity, it would be a little less job security but potentially a lower cost of living coupled with a higher salary would set me up pretty nicely. Unfortunately i think Texas is out of the question because it's too hot for my GF to handle. I will definitely look into raleigh and Charlotte though. Thanks for the tips broski. Reps.
