I’ve spent a decade in Chicago and most my friends either left to move to their hometowns or started having families and moved to the suburbs and I never see them. I’m thinking about moving to a smaller market but in a city that’s growing. I like Tampa and Austin, I’ve been to Nashville too. Where should I be looking? Anyone else make a move like this recently?

Wouldn’t your circle get smaller by moving to those cities? Chicago pays way more also. Tampa isn’t a good market for ad professionals. Orlando might be better.

I would say Austin for marketing specifically

It might depend on the kind of work you've been doing. There are tech hubs supposedly springing up in the Carolinas and in Colorado, and business is said to spring up around them. Those sound interesting. I think Nashville and Austin would also fall into that category.

I think Austin is a really great place to look. Both of my brothers live there, and they have both found really great jobs. They keep trying to convince me that I should look for a job there and move there.

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international.
