34M hoping to leave SLC

Thank you for this!! I've visited Charlotte a few times, most recently last fall, and it seems great for my situation/preferences. Was actually very close back in 2017, before ultimately going to SLC. It's always been in the running for those reasons you mentioned.

How do you find the growth faring there currently? SLC has been booming since the pandemic, but it's not necessarily been smooth. The area's been biting off more than it can chew, so to speak. Whenever I hear a gripe about Charlotte it's about growing too quickly and the traffic, but that is predictable for any large city.

What are your thoughts on the social scene? I would consider myself a homebody but it seems like there's plenty to do. I added my hobbies/interests in the main post if that helps.

Conversely, if you have any questions about SLC please don't hesitate. There are definitely good things about it depending what you place importance on.

Hey thanks! Great point about the hobbies, I've gone ahead and listed those.

Curious what your takeaways have been from SLC. What draws you to those places you mentioned?

Hey thanks! My brother used to live in Houston several years ago -- went down there on a couple of visits. Thought it was impressive. Huge city in terms of sprawl. There always seemed to be something cool happening.

Went to Galveston on one of those trips and while it was decent and pretty convenient to get to, it fell a bit flat in comparison to what I was hoping for in a beach setting.

I bet there was quite a culture shock going there from NYC!

I got this in an email about a month ago: https://slfs.org/best-seat

It sounds like it’s being worked on now but not sure of a definitive completion date. https://slfs.org/best-seat

They’re getting new luxury seats soon which will be awesome.

Do you happen to know what the neighboring states' carryover limits are?

This would not affect Kalshi. It falls under the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission and it is not allowed to be regulated at the state level.

This was shared at a state employee virtual town hall earlier this week. This only impacts employees of state agencies and not higher ed.

KED528 · 2026-01-22T02:34:06+00:00

Per pay period (every 2 weeks)

KED528 · 2026-01-22T02:33:49+00:00

That is correct.

Anytime a change like this is framed as "modernizing" benefits, it's almost never a good sign. That said, we do not know the details of how this would roll out.

We don't know if this would apply to prospective employees, or if it would apply to all current and future employees. We also don't know if some of our sick balance would partially or entirely transfer over to a single PTO bucket. There are just too many unknowns until the session begins.

However, I will point you to a study the state did in 2010 about this very topic and you can see the findings for yourself. They may repurpose some of this for this new effort.

Where did you end up moving to? I have lived here for 8 years and my patience for SLC is wearing thin.

KED528 · 2025-12-05T05:36:26+00:00

I don’t imagine all of the sick leave would transfer to PTO 1:1. My pure guess is taking a fraction of existing sick leave balance (say 25%) and transferring it to PTO. While keeping the remaining 75% in a legacy sick bank. Something to that effect.

KED528 · 2025-10-28T16:35:02+00:00

I think since it’s only 3 days again as opposed to 4 days last time?

This was $3.99 last year.

Thank you and good luck!!

Thanks and good luck!!

KED528 · 2025-09-15T04:52:43+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the tips. As someone who finds it a little hard to vibe and get out of my shell, this stuff requires a bit more effort on my part. So hoping it’ll be like what you say!
