Has anyone ever gone from a big market like NYC to a smaller market/city (that you would never normally live in) just to get better opportunities? Was it a good decision? Any regrets?

I ♥️ NY but feeling stuck at my mediocre agency doing mediocre work. And at this point I’m open to moving anywhere if it means making cool shit
