You’re telling me you haven’t had coworkers who complain about commuting from the burbs on a regular basis? I feel like the moment they’re ready to build a family, a significant number of people leave the city. I’m in the burbs.
If you work downtown, but live say in the northern suburbs, how does that harm networking? When I moved here, I lived downtown and in Lincoln Park for 4 years. Moved north for the cheaper rent and less noise. Never lost a connection. Then started a family. Schools, taxes etc are massively better when you exit Crook County. Hell, regular gas is cheaper up north by $.30 to $.40 cents a gallon cheaper than Chicago. It’s all about who you keep in contact with.

What job scene?
As long as you stay within reach of a metra station with an express train you’re not gonna miss anything..
Personally, I wouldn’t leave the city to ‘rent’ anywhere else. If you’re staying long term I would consider buying if you’re able.
In either case, just be near a metra station and you’re good!
