No need a car for NY but expect maybe 30% more on rent. Less cold but still cold lol. LA prob has the best weather but you'll hate life because: traffic. SF is a sweet spot but Karl the fog is a pain in the ass, also rent is like NY aka nuts

All three have drawbacks but no city's perfect. I'd go with SF if I were you - New York is an amped up version of Chicago in many regards in my experience

Has there been a centralized location of strat projects that are selling? Midwest/NE etc. also with office visibility, where does most leadership sit/best investment to build relationships?

All cool places, different lifestyles. From a work perspective, I'd say just ask the people in each city how it's working out. You should get honest answers. Your industry preference is a significant factor

Heavy bench for strategy in the west

NY no contest

A great opportunity with a top brand has come up. I have not actively looked to make a move, but this role and brand looks really promising with a greater earning potential. Down side is I would need to relocate which I do not want to do and would be a challenge for my wife’s job . Any suggestions on how to leverage for a leveling of my current salary and role which I have been told is in the works but I have not seen any sort of movement to give me confidence that it will happen?

Curious what your title structure is for roles focused specifically on organic social media (or does it always require paid expertise?). I imagine Community Manager is appropriate for entry level but when you start to grow and the work becomes more than social moderation - responsible for the development of all organic content (and sometimes copywriting), high level reporting, etc. - not sure what's most reflective of the roles. Any insights and perspectives welcome :)
