Seems like it’s not really a popular market for our industry ?

In short, no.

Are there any ones that pay competitively and are not horrible?

Great haha

I moved back from there because I got laid off and there were zero other options

Def no

It’s a small town with inflated egos from people that may have worked at an agency you’ve heard of for a year or two. What’s worse is that they’re all fighting for the same two or three decent clients... For paid search assignments.
