Job Offer In Charleston, SC


Dex

Recommended Posts

After months of being unemployed due to COVID I've finally received two job offers. One is in Connecticut where I'm currently living for an above average salary. The latter is in Charleston, SC in the Mt. Pleasant area for about 10% less than the Connecticut job salary. I've always thought about moving to the Carolinas and this could be a real opportunity to start somewhere anew. But I've got a few questions.

 

What is a good salary to live within relative comfort in the Charleston area? I have around $1000 in monthly debt (ex. Car Payment, Health and Auto Insurance etc.). I'd like to have a 1 to 2 bedroom apartment if my budget could stretch it and would prefer to be in the city but that's not a requirement.

 

Anything i should be aware of moving down from Yankeeland?

 

Whats the current state of the area? Culture? Development?

 

What is there to do down there?

 

I appreciate any and all responses.

SC taxes and general cost of living would probably make up the difference in salary.

Lots of historical things in Charleston and interesting architecture and artsy things to do.

Very warm.  Summers might be what is known as "3 shower days"

Laid back culture for the most part.

Driving distance to Panther games!!

Charleston is a decent place to live if you like a slower pace of life compared to a bigger city. I live in Austin and I have a buddy who lives in Charleston that I've visited a few times. If you enjoy going to the beach, eating good BBQ and chilling out, it's a good pace of life. If you want more city amenities, you might want to pass. Compared to Austin, Charleston is too slow and boring for me.

You've never felt hot until you've spent a summer in the SC lowcountry. My wife went to CofC and we lived in downtown Charleston the summer of '03. Never again. With that said, I'd choose it over Connecticut all day everyday if for nothing else just having access to the crab and shrimp ravioli at Nigel's.

I lived in Charleston in the 80s and thought it was great, even though it was literally the last place I wanted to be sent to by the Navy. It's gotten really crowded over the past couple of decades, and downtown has gotten super expensive, so you probably won't be able to swing that. I enjoyed living on James Island and it's close to downtown. But there are a lot of great things to see and do there. I'm originally from Western Mass and miss the summers up there, but not having to deal with the winters is so much more of a plus I wouldn't consider moving back up north (been in CLT for 25 years). One thing I tell people as a generalization is that up north you tend to have a few close friends, down south you tend to have a lot of buddies.

    • I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....
    • It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.
    • That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
