What are some good U.S cities with good employment opportunities (financial/banking/accounting) and with good mild weathers. Cities with mild weathers that dont drive up AC or Heater expenses and where i wont have to buy clothes for every season. Basically a balance climate without too many extremes of rain,snow,heat,humid etc.

I enjoy the warm mild climate of southern california, but it lacks good employment opportunities and is expensive imo

I think Charlotte, NC fits the criteria. The weather is pretty mild year round. Summers arent too hot and it doesn't really snow there(maybe flurries). The job market is growing there from what I hear.

Charlotte's unemployment rate is still near 10%. I think the latest month is 9.7%. Raleigh's job market is better but it's not a banking type economy. NC's Summers can be pretty hot but they aren't nearly as long or as humid as those along the Gulf Coast or SE Florida.

I don't usually nitpick because I'm glad this forum has a wide range of viewpoints from people of all educational levels.

But I think if you want a professional job it will help to work on your spelling and grammar.

San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, Boston, and Portland are your best choices as a young person. Those cities are very liberal, artsy, hipster, and have a lot of employment opportunities for young people.

Stay away from Charlotte. It's near impossible to find a job there in any field, let alone banking.

No one has really hit on cities with mild climates, a lower cost of living and a decent job market. You might check out options such as smaller/mid-sized cities with a major university attached, which tend to attract high-tech and other industries as well as feature unemployment rates/cost-of-living well below most of the bigger cities. I'd recommend:

Lexington, Kentucky (University of Kentucky, 6.8% unemployment, warm though not extreme summers/mild winters)
Lexington, Kentucky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
University of Kentucky

Norfolk, Virginia (Old Dominion University, 6.8% unemployment, warm though not extreme summers/mild winters)
Welcome to Norfolk Convention & Visitors Bureau
ODU - Old Dominion University

Knoxville, Tennessee (University of Tennessee, 7.0% unemployment, mild summers/winters, no state income tax)
