Southern California
Dealers galore (and a lot of other job opportunities for people who have drive and hustle) Great weather year round Proximity to anything you would like to do (outdoor activities, beach, indoor actives, etc. There is something for everyone) Great food People's biggest complaint is cost of living but that is grossly exaggerated. |

As long as you stay away from the Midwest and southeast, you will find something you like.
Best thing to do is save up a couple grand and take a road trip around the country. You may dislike places you thought you would like and vice versa. BMW dealerships are present in pretty much every major city, so I would assume your prospects are good. I'm from Texas and after traveling/living all over the country and world, the Pacific Northwest(Oregon and Washington State) is the most wonderful place to live in this country in my perspective. Moderate weather, friendly and incorporating communities, and tons of federal land you can enjoy to get away from the city and enjoy nature!I'm dreading going back to Texas where it is the complete opposite. I'm currently living around Raleigh, NC. Decent city but the heat/humidity here is stupid. Last edited by OlBloo; 08-17-2017 at 11:43 AM.. |

I came from the tristate area to work in finance in Dallas. I live in Grapevine on the lake. Dallas traffic is bearable compared to the Northeast, and its only going to get better. Dallas is one of the few cities I've been to that has seemingly unlimited growth potential. We have numerous NASDAQ and Fortune 500 companies headquartered or in the process of headquartering here. DFW airport is one of the most convenient in the country, and the housing market here is booming. Dallas does not have the typical stereotype I had of Texas in general. That being said, there are a lot of new money dick wads and the competition in their click is disgusting and tacky. Uptown Dallas: barf. Dallas suburbs: lovely. It does get a little warm here, though.... Whatever you do, don't go to Austin. Austin is fun to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. |

I have to throw in San Francisco. One of the most beautiful cities in the USA. Lots of jobs. Diversity is very good, lots of people from all over the world. It is a lot cleaner than NYC. No need for a car if you live in the city. Lots of nature, forests, mountains, skiing and other outdoor activities nearby. Weather is always mild. There's only 2 seasons, spring and fall. The highest it ever gets is 80 degrees F and it never dips below 50 degrees F.
But the flip side is, it is also one of the most expensive places to live in the US. I am somewhat biased though.

I'm starting to realize that the more I ask questions about places I'm just going to get bombarded with more opposing views. I've heard some extremely negative but also extremely positive reviews of all the places I've been interested in. I guess the only thing to do is to visit as many places as possible before I decide.

I just have one question about the bolded part. What makes you say that? To me there's a bunch of cities in the midwest that seems somewhat liveable. Quote:

Being said that, there are pockets with nice suburbs, but like I said earlier there wasn't much to do unless you like hunting, boating, dirt bikes, drinking etc. Don't take my word for it though. You may end up finding other things you like and fall in love with one of these communities |

Work is fairly plentiful right now, as unfortunately for my wife a lot of the people she has worked with have left for greener pastures. Winter does get on the cold side (nothing worse than what you are used to) and they actually do not get that much snow. From everything I've heard their weather is quite similar to what we have in Denver (which I consider to be pretty much an ideal mix or heat/cold/snow). They rank pretty high on quite a few best place to live lists, so overall not a bad option from what I can see. |

Lessons from an expat:
1. Just come, destination any state if you are a diversity winner 2. Spend the first one or two years traveling to as many states just to get a better perspective, even a weekend may be enough! 3. Profession: if you are in Finance like me, while you can work anywhere in the states, there are just a few states where opportunities are vast. 4. How often you'll be flying back to visit Sweden: If it's numerous, you can't rule out the East-Coast. Deals, airline deals, I miss those since moving Texas 5. Try to look at demographics data, if you like to be among your own you'll know the states to look for employment and eventually settle in. 6. Beef: if you love beef, don't bother with the Midwest or NE. Find states strong in beef farming. Filet mignon is not the same between TX and/or NJ. Same goes for seafood. 7. Women: Too many cougars in the Midwest.

I know there were a few that suggested San Diego, so I'd like to cast my vote for it. (Biased, because I was born and raised here and can't think of ever leaving)
When was the last time you've heard someone say no to San Diego? I think the only thing keeping people from moving here is the cost of living, but if you put a little effort in searching, you should be able to find a good housing deal. Weather is perfect 99% of the time, people are great, beaches are nice, traffic sucks during rush hour. |

I'm an expat, now US citizen and I just moved to dallas from the SF bay... finance wise it was a huge upgrade (I make my bay area salary in a much cheaper part of America)
Dallas is much cleaner and safer too, unless you're rich enough to be able to afford san Mateo/foster city or mountain view etc. You couldn't pay me enough to ever live in SF itself. |
