I'm considering a position in Lansing, MI but would like to know about how much of my hard earned dollars the state will be taking. It looks like the cost of living is less (how's the quality of living though?) which could help... I already tried searching online and only got some vague information (about 4.5% taken by the state I believe)... Is this about right?
Also, what's the home brewing situation like out there? IF it sucks, via stupid state limitations, then that's a ding against taking the position...
I'm also interviewing for a position that's going to at least start local to me, but since the company is closing this location in the next few months, it could shift to Texas... As much as I'd rather stay where it's cool most of the year, I need to be realistic for jobs. It's with a major name company (household word) so I know it's not going anywhere. I did see that Texas is good for the home brewing laws, but how are the taxes and such? That's another area where the cost of living would be less than where I am now, so if the pay stays the same, I should be better off...
Hate being out of work this long. Makes me really have to consider moving to different parts of the country, which I wouldn't have done even a few months back...
