You gotta go to the cities no one really talks about like that but are still on the low dope spots to live, like say Charlotte or Savannah


:francis:No chief. Savannah is a shythole for jobs and resources. Word to my wife with wild credentials and still got shytted on by the city, along with ya fellow marsupial who used to teach down there only for them to low ball the fukk out of me.

Yeah, I'm just saying how I viewed it from my life experiences.

Before I moved to Cali, I drove everywhere.

If I wanted to go to NYC, I drove, if I wanted to go to DC, I drove, if I wanted to go to NC, I drove.

That was the extent of my travels back then, besides living in Hawaii for a year when I was too young to remember.

I'm speaking from an old nikka perspective too.

Everything I'm saying is from a mid 90s to mid 00s perspective.

I’m very public transportation minded and hate driving because NYC so I understand the difference especially from VA where you driving everywhere including a quick store run

Glad I aint fall for the okie doke...back in the day nikkas told me Atlanta was the land of milk and honey....money and bad bytches were just waiting for me..it would be like shooting fish in a barrel

:shaq2:

I imagine it's not a bad city if you have a proper degree. I can probably move their with ease with my work experience. I just don't care for the culture

Btw… You can DEFINITELY thrive here without real skills but you will have to humble yourself. I personally know several guys making 60-70k a year working at a warehouse. If you focus for a few years and not get swept up fukking with the b*tches and the night life, you can build a comfortable life for yourself. Dudes would rather work at a call center and fukk up their whips doing some punk ass Uber or food delivery because cats are lazy.
Them nikkas picking parts or like in maagement?

What warehouse job paying that much unless you're a manager or in a high position?

Don't be fooled by hip hop culture, breh.

Atlanta has everything you could possibly be looking for as a black person, from the most hood elements our culture has to offer to the most bougie, and everything in between.

Talking in this thread got me reminiscing tough.

When wifey and the kids get back, we're planning a trip to see our people down there before Biden locks us down again, as he should.

It's been way too long since I've touched down there.

Moved out here two years ago on a whim. Found a decent job and I had a roommate. I was able to stack while having a roommate and now that I live alone I have a really healthy savings if it all comes crashing down. I've networked with people within and outside of my company and hopefully I'll be making 6 figures in a couple years.

One thing I recommend everyone to do is lie on their resume. Lie, lie, lie!!! These people don't know you. All you have to do is be able to speak to your roles. Once you're hired, they'll train you. Of course don't do no shyt like this for a computer program position or nothing like that.
