re: If your company makes working from home permanent, would you move somewhere else?

I work for a software company. It's likely we will never go back to the office. I can work from anywhere in the world for the foreseeable future.

My job is 100% in the office and they scoff at wfh. It’s crazy that some companies have already decided 100% remote for another 6 months

Nope. I've told my wife she is free to move, but I'm going to live in this house until at least the kids are out of here. We've made several improvements, some large ones more recently, and it has enough space for us all. Plus great schools, convenience to shops and restaurants, and fairly close to all the family that live in the city. The next time I move I want it to be near the coast near retirement age.

Went to BC for 3 semesters. Absolutely love that place.

That was one of the four places

Only where you live, not where your work is based.

If anyone is planning a move, make sure your company has a nexus in that state for payroll, or is willing to get one. Also, if you're looking to move to another country, make sure they have a sub there. A buddy had to fire a guy recently who had moved back home to Canada. He said that the guy was floored and had never considered the payroll logistics.

think that a lot of companies are starting to see, While most people are working from home, that there are some jobs to where people do not have to report to the office.

I think many people are overlooking the fact that large chunks of work sector don’t want to be home. Lots of folks don’t want to be around their spouses 24-7, or their kids. When summer rolls around and Timmy and Lisa are running around the house, do you want to be home? I’d rather be at the office.

Nope. I think it’s kind of sad so many people live in places they hate because of a job

Didn't like my last job. When I was looking for my next/current job, I targeted Boise and SLC and ended up in Boise. Not sure I'd move somewhere else at this moment. Boise has everything I want at the moment (mountain biking, river rafting, skiing) without overbearing traffic. Ask me again in 5 years, and I may have a different answer with the way this area has been growing lately.

I was born in Canada (though no recollection of ever living there), so theoretically I can also legally move to there. I'd probably pick someplace close to Banff (Calgary) if I ever did move back to Canada.

I'm also curious about this. Would I have to pay state income taxes for both GA and NC?

That is 100% not true. Some states tax you on income earned while working in that state even if you don't live in that state. States like Louisiana.

"Louisiana residents, part-year residents of Louisiana, and nonresidents with income from Louisiana sources who are required to file a federal income tax return must file a Louisiana Individual Income Tax Return."

Ask people who live in Connecticuit and work in New York about it. Ask professional athletes if their game checks are the same when the play in California as when they play in Florida. You ever wonder why so many professional athletes "live" in Florida, Nevada, and Texas? They take full advantage of the fact those states don't have personal income tax, so their game checks are only taxed if they play in a state that taxes income earned in that state. Like Louisiana. That has a special tax return for athletes.
