Hello, I am looking to move to a bigger city, I've lived in a tiny rural community most of my life. I'm trying to decide between Phoenix and Tucson and I was wondering which city has more to offer. For context, I'm a 27 year old, single female, who likes to experience new things, and I currently have a remote job that pays $57,000 a year.

phoenix is obviously better for your age, but you’d probably need roommates with the current salary.

Yea agreed with SC1. If you have to / need to live alone then Tucson should only be considered from a purely financial perspective. Otherwise Phoenix is better in every possible way.

Tucson is underrated in my opinion. Some of the best food in the country . But if you're looking for a "big city" feel Tucson won't offer you that.

Both cities have their pros and cons, but Phoenix may offer more job opportunities and a better social scene.

Tucson mostly feels like a beautiful place for retired people/college kids; I'd say there is probably more of a variety in culture in Phoenix

There’s different things to appreciate about both. Phoenix is more “city” and but you’ll spend a lot more on rent/ food. Tucson is local, great food and culture, smaller night scene, can afford more. Going from rural to a city may be a shock so it might be good to go halfway like Tucson, plus it’s more affordable to your salary.

Hi All,
I am feeling lost in job. So I’ve applied for Accounts payable they offered 40k. I said why not to gain some experience. I didn’t even bother negotiating which I regret.
Fast forward I noticed that I was eventually handed everyone’s workload (AR & imports & duty and check coworker work + AP) Spoke to them about pay increase based on workload. So they raised it to 55k.. but I still feel underpaid based on the amt of work I do. I don’t know what my title or what to put on resume..
