We’re now willing to hire people who live anywhere. We have had a lot of success with the WFH situation and expect it to continue. If other agencies adopt the same policy, you can probably pick a city/town/village based on factors other than work. So, what do you like to do in your spare time? What kind of people do you enjoy? What kind of living arrangement do you want? All of those questions are now more important than where the employer is located.

It just always felt like a poor man's Chicago to me. It tries really hard to be a world class city but just falls so short. Not much in the way of character. Very little culture for a city of it's size. Just a big concrete jungle that lacks the perks of a big city like chi or ny.

You also have to deal with a much smaller ad scene and clients and budgets. There's still some good work being done though.

I guess I just never felt it had the perks of a big city but I felt a lot of the drawbacks.
