Anecdotally, I heard that at these firms, all the "interesting" work is moving to Florida office because of the longer non-compete period. New York and other offices still exist but the most promising proprietary stuff goes to Florida.
- JackFr 1y agoThey are moving to Florida because the personal income tax rate in Forida is 0% and in New York it's about 14%.

Property taxes, aka wealth taxes, are much higher. These are passed along to consumers, meaning even if you don't have personal wealth you still pay a bit of it.
- red-iron-pine 1y agothere have been a few threads here comparing TX to CA and found that CA is still pretty competitive even having a beefy income tax.
