"Atlanta will eat you up. You sure you still want to move here?"

[TheOptimisticCynikal]

Somewhat but not as much as networking

I'm really trying to avoid networking. It feels so phony

I always saw them as being super faggy, but in hindsight, I see why people join fraternities and sororities.

Then there's me that just chose weed smokers as college friends

If you never got to experience the real Atlanta in the early to late 90s you fukking missed out. nikkas are moving here on a hope and prayer and a vision of a city that is long gone.

 

[Born2BKing]

Been in GA since 1989.....this is all FACTS!!!



Folks move down here now dressing rich....BUT BEING BROKE


Got Gucci belt and Gucci shoes.....then hopping on the bus to go to Lenox mall

Atlanta to black folks is what L.A. is to cacs

Isnt 60-70k somewhere like Seattle about the same as 45k in Atlanta?

Sounds like you’re hustling backwards if that’s your 5 year plan breh.

Shoot for 6 figures if you’re going out West.

I'm lowballing myself to not have such high expectations, I do hope to make more

Hip hop/rap culture really enhanced the Atlanta mythos

I’m self employed and run in them circles, it’s a lot of ways to get it if you work for yourself.

Can anyone speak to the tech space? I got a cousin who wants to break into the industry but honestly he doesn’t know where to begin. Can any brehs give some input?

What’s his skill set?

And killed it as well..
Now when you think Atl you imagine drugged out and dusty.

I am moving there within a week, and the thing that I notice about transplants moving to Atlanta they always try to live beyond their means, they always to be something that they are not, and they are paying the price for it.

The symbolism-over-substance crowd will forever be food for those with purpose.

 

[GreenGhxst]

What does that even mean?

We ain't in the 60s anymore where information isn't readily available and you gotta hope they still hiring colored folk at the factory when you leave town

You dont even have to move until you have a job secured, so Atlanta ain't gone spit you out. This 2021, if you wanna be spit out, you gone be spit out but that's on you

Don’t low ball yourself breh.

The Universe gives you what you ask for.

Who? Did you just make this up?

All of them..
Atlantas image is now tied to rappers..

Yeah man I’m from Augusta and ATL was always the place to move to when you graduated from high school and/or college. I’m in the media and it’s hard to move from Augusta to Atlanta in that field unless you’re super nice with it or got connections. I luckily was able to start my career in my hometown. People will literally take a job there and hope they can make it from the ground up. I’m not built like that lol. I love Atlanta but not that much.

What do you do?
