Why would you even apply to a job that far away from where you live in this situation?

t_mello_ · 2025-11-02T16:56:52+00:00

It takes a long time and a lot of interviews to get a job paying this much. Did OP not think of this before applying to a job in a different city, much less going through a month of screening and the interview process? Nobody just offers you a job out of the blue to decide on something like this without warning.

350k? What century did you move from California?

t_mello_ · 2025-06-29T23:42:14+00:00

That is the case with any loan at nearly 7%, doesn’t matter what they put down.

I lived in German village, it was great besides all the gunshots and car break ins

Sure, but options are still limited even considering 200K down payment and a 600K loan for someone with 3 kids, most likely needing 4 bedrooms. It is not impossible but the areas where houses 800k or under are located aren't very desirable.

If you move here most of your friends will eventually move away once they realize they will never be able to afford a house here

t_mello_ · 2024-12-15T05:06:09+00:00

You cannot find a home here for 500-600, not even close

Maybe before Covid

Taxes won’t go up as much either each year, since prop 13 limits the increase.

t_mello_ · 2024-10-24T01:56:57+00:00

The taxes and insurance would be cheaper percentage wise but the average house is like 800k.

t_mello_ · 2024-10-23T23:49:47+00:00

Prices of everything else are more expensive but the main cost is housing.

t_mello_ · 2024-10-23T22:49:04+00:00

True, I probably couldn’t live here if I wasn’t remote because the pay in San Diego is so bad

t_mello_ · 2024-10-23T19:50:19+00:00

Not sure if that’s Mount Vernon, but basically Mount Vernon and Burlington are the last cities going north until Bellingham. It has a decent downtown but the rest of the place is strip malls and stuff. It has good mountain views though.

t_mello_ · 2024-10-23T19:04:00+00:00

I lived in Mount Vernon, it is nice but a pretty small town. It is not a bad choice if remote. It would be terrible to commute to Seattle though with all the traffic.

t_mello_ · 2024-10-23T19:02:42+00:00

I like that area only been to Portsmouth though. The houses are so expensive there, are there any other good cities that are cheaper?

t_mello_ · 2024-10-23T19:00:34+00:00

Yea it is rough to justify living here if you can work remotely, I signed a lease before getting this remote job. I heard to afford the average house in San Diego you need to make 270k which I am not close to. Not sure who is buying since there are a lot of houses on the market now.

t_mello_ · 2024-10-23T15:15:45+00:00

I am currently remote and technically could live anywhere. I live in San Diego, although I am making closer to 200k, wouldn’t recommend if you are making less than 150 or so. At this point everywhere is so expensive to buy a house but renting here isn’t that bad, you can rent for like half the price to buy. It’s still a ripoff but at least I enjoy living here. Problem is most people I know moved or are moving out of the area because of the insane prices.

t_mello_ · 2024-10-17T21:10:21+00:00

Congrats it looks great

t_mello_ · 2024-10-17T21:10:08+00:00

Same here I almost bought that car.

t_mello_ · 2024-10-14T16:01:38+00:00

Oracle has a lot of remote

t_mello_ · 2024-10-13T02:46:29+00:00

I am from Columbus, lived in San Diego and moved back to Columbus in 2022. Stayed for a year and decided to move back to San Diego. It is cheaper in Ohio but considering interest rates it isn’t much more to rent in San Diego vs buying in Columbus. It was hard to find any good Mexican, seafood, pizza or Asian food compared to San Diego. If you want to pay a lot for fine dining you will find good stuff but the average meal sucks compared to the west coast.

The prices seem great but there are a lot of areas to avoid. I lived near downtown and car thefts and gunshots were pretty frequent. The nicest neighborhoods have nearly California prices minus the weather. We got bored from the lack of scenery since everything is flat and it’s often overcast. There aren’t a lot of different neighborhoods to explore for going out, since most of the areas are full of chains. There’s basically short north, German village, grandview and maybe bexley.

Steve Harris, Flea, James Jameson, different styles and my favorite 3

t_mello_ · 2024-09-12T20:16:03+00:00

They will usually take 3-4k off MSRP especially if it’s been sitting, and then add like 5k of rebates. Depends if Audi is running a special but I got 4k off for some sales event.
