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.

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.

    • Ya'll.....look at Stafford without his feet set. This is why people in here talk about Bryce not having elite abilities mattering when plays break down. He cannot make these kind of throws with his base not being set. 
    • Pretty much going to play each other the same way.  Stop the run let the bad QB try to win the game. It will come down to who makes the least amount of mistakes. 
    • From the Charlotte Observer   1. quarterback Bryce Young has yet to earn a road win this season, and the third-year former overall No. 1 pick is 1-15 on the road as a starter for his career — which is tied for the worst record over 16 games in NFL history. 2. The Jets, meanwhile, haven’t won a game yet. But even still it’s tough to pinpoint their identity. 3. They’ve lost four of their six games by a single score — three games by two points, specifically.  4. Quarterback Justin Fields has flashed his propensity for playmaking at times this year — with the exception of his Week 6 performance where he only threw for 45 yards passing — and Breece Hall is a undeniably good lead running back having a solid year statistically.   5. The Jets’ team rankings aren’t too ugly either.     Their defense, specifically. That unit is ninth in third-down conversion rate (36.4%) and 10th in opponent passing yards per game (200.5).   Their Achilles heel to date, it appears, is their turnover margin (-1.2, 31st in the NFL).
