Many consider San Diego a picturesque city, this is true but the facts are it is set in a desert terrain and there are several scenic places in the United States (Atlanta and Tennessee for example). San Diego bills itself as “America’s Finest City” possibly the worst case of false advertising known.
In San Diego we at Fossnel encountered some of the rudest arrogant people in the country and if you are from Texas and they find out you are from Texas you are treated extra rudely. San Diegans hatred of people from Texas at times borders on hate crimes.
Expect 60 percent of what your compensation is to go to taxes. Along with Federal Taxes, you State Income Taxes and taxes that are normally covered by health insurance. With IT wages you will be paying the same state tax rate as major movie stars or professional athletes.
It is easier to get disability in California than other states as you are taxed for it. Speaking of disability, if you are injured and require surgery no matter how minor, you will have to prove the surgery will not impede your ability to perform your duties no matter what they are.
When one of our Texas staff members moved to Melbourne, FL they were hit from behind at red stoplight. If this had occurred in San Diego, the accident would have automatically would have been blamed on the staff member and in all likely hood would have been taken to jail just because their license plate said Texas.
As for finding a place to stay in San Diego, since it is located in a Socialist Country you are only allowed to stay in any place for 28 days without a lease. Then you will have to leave for at least a day and then the 28 days starts over. You will also need perfect credit if you are not a California resident.
Fossnel does not recommend San Diego, CA under any circumstance.
