New Or­leans had the high­est homi­cide rate of any ma­jor city so far this year, with about 41 homi­cides per 100,000 res­i­dents. The homicide rate was 11.5 in Chicago, 4.8 in Los An­ge­les and 2.4 per 100,000 in New York City.

***Cities like St Louis, Birmingham, Detroit, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Indianapolis, Tuscaloosa, Little Rock, Atlanta, Miami gardens, Philly, Memphis and Kansas City also have homicide rates significantly higher than Chicago***

The US is extremely diverse. What are you looking for other than money and safety? Most big cities have good paying jobs in pretty safe areas

You will make more in any US city compared to London. So live where you would enjoy things the best. If you want London weather go to Seattle.

I mean this all depends on your job, which rn many are partly remote anyway. I think I would stay away from New York- I love that city but housing is really expensive right now. I would look at T2 cities: Boston, DC, Chicago, LA. I would consider applying around and then weighing actual offers. Boston and LA are maybe my fave cities but that’s me.
I moved last year and I thought a lot about my priorities, in the end I settled for lifestyle and diversity. And I wanted a big city. I ended up in LA.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!
