🙆🏻‍♀️ Seeking Advice Relocated to South Dakota for a finance job in the last year? Would love to chat!

Hey folks! I'm a journalist working on a feature story for an international career guide, on a bit of a deadline. Looking to talk to someone who relocated to South Dakota in the last 12-15 months because a finance job brought them there. Accountant, bookkeeper, loan officer, anything finance counts. DM me if that's you or someone you know. Any lead helps! :)

Do you mean money laundering job? SD has a very high rate of hiding/tax avoiding "banks" for the world's criminals.

I knew a family in southeast SD who were pros at hiding tax and committing insurance fraud. They’re multi millionaires yet receive six figures plus annually, on average, from the government via “subsidies” for their corporate farming operation. They were so slick they got their daughter’s federal grants to attend USD by claiming they earn a $12,000 salary. Fascinating.

Oops no. I’m looking to talk to people who moved into SD to fill in a demand for finance related jobs. This is for a feature story.

I think what OP means is are you doing a feature story about trusts, tax avoidance, money laundering, and South Dakota's lax laws concerning all of the above? They are not accusing you of malfeasance but maybe they've also given you some inspiration for part two of your story?

It’s much simpler. I’m looking for people to talk to who moved into SD (or another city/state) to fill in a gap in the finance field with their skills. This is to study that not only NY but other states across the US are also attracting talent.
