If stock trader you could literally move to Russia or vietbam,etc. And why can't a lawyer work from home? As a doctor I could move abroad and I'd pay 30% commission to have someone on u.s. soil put their signature on my work. I am just afraid such arrangement is not safe and that 30% could turn into 60%..

I wish I made $250k. If only we made that much maybe we could afford Pokémon card swaps and summer camps.

Even doing the lowest cost legal private legal practices, that seems low for a major metropolitan area.

I do retard litigation work. Never could break into something bigger and better. I basically have the worst QOL, lowest pay, least preftige legal job possible. I’m making less than many paralegals.

If you're looking to move to a place where you can still earn **$250K+** while enjoying a great quality of life, here are some of the best options, depending on your priorities:

### **1. Best for High Salaries & Career Growth (US-Based)**

- **San Francisco, CA / Silicon Valley, CA** – Tech (FAANG, startups), finance, biotech. $250K is common for senior engineers, PMs, or VPs.

- **New York City, NY** – Finance (hedge funds, IB), tech, law, and high-paying corporate roles.

- **Seattle, WA** – Big Tech (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) pays well with no state income tax.

- **Austin, TX** – Growing tech hub (Tesla, Apple, Oracle) with no state income tax.

- **Boston, MA** – Biotech, finance, and academia (high salaries but high COL).

### **2. Best for Lower Taxes & High Earnings**

- **Miami, FL** – No state income tax, growing finance/tech scene (hedge funds, crypto).

- **Dallas/Houston, TX** – Energy, finance, tech with no state income tax.

- **Nashville, TN** – Healthcare, finance, and no state income tax.

- **Las Vegas, NV** – No state income tax, remote work-friendly.

### **3. Best for Remote Work (Earning $250K from Anywhere)**

- **Portugal (Lisbon, Porto)** – Low cost of living, digital nomad visa, great lifestyle.

- **Switzerland (Zurich, Geneva)** – Extremely high salaries in finance/tech (but high COL).

- **Dubai, UAE** – 0% income tax, luxury lifestyle, booming finance/tech scene.

- **Singapore** – High salaries in finance/tech, low taxes, great infrastructure.

- **Bali, Indonesia** – Low cost of living, digital nomad-friendly (but time zones may be tricky).

### **4. Best for Work-Life Balance & High Earnings**

- **Zurich, Switzerland** – Salaries often exceed $250K in finance/tech, excellent quality of life.

- **Copenhagen, Denmark** – High salaries in tech, great work-life balance (but high taxes).

- **Sydney/Melbourne, Australia** – Strong tech/finance sectors, great lifestyle.

- **Toronto/Vancouver, Canada** – High-paying tech jobs, better COL than SF/NYC.

### **Key Considerations:**

- **Taxes:** States like TX, FL, NV, and countries like UAE/Singapore offer big tax advantages.

- **Industry:** Tech (FAANG, quant, AI), finance (hedge funds, IB), or healthcare (specialists) are best for $250K+.

- **Remote Work:** If your job allows it, living in a tax-friendly or low-COL area maximizes take-home pay.

Would you like recommendations tailored to a specific industry (tech, finance, etc.) or lifestyle preference (urban, beach, mountains)?
