Through any life crisis comes insight into what is important to us, what we no longer need and what we want for the future; the same applies to business and our careers. Cities are unaffordable for many, for several reasons, such as exorbitant cost of living (Rent, food, transportation, miscellaneous expenses), high local and state taxes. To add fuel to the fire the COVID pandemic is forcing us to rethink and reprioritize our needs.
It is prudent to look for alternatives – for health and economic safety by cutting living costs and taxes.

Remote working is here to stay and will more than ever become an integral part of the way we work. Now is the time for companies to prepare for this ‘back to the new normal’.
