I'm thinking of making a move from NJ/NYC to Portland in the next year or two. I think about it constantly, I loved it out there so much. I was wondering if any creatives/graphic designers/creative directors/etc had any insights for me on what the market is like for my industry? Being able to find a job is my biggest concern when considering the move.

6+ years of ad agency experience, specializing in pharma/oncology art direction + graphic design

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
