Job Offer In Charleston, SC

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.

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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
