What’s with Denver people and acting cold and unfriendly. Have lived in a number of major cities but Denver takes the cake in this regard.

I am a transplant and have lived here 30 yrs. Fact is its not about where someone comes from, it's about how each person chooses to conduct themselves. You can't predict what people choose to say and do for sure.

We lived in Denver proper for 20 years and moved to Littleton a year ago. I find people here extremely pleasant, friendly, and relatable. I would never hesitate to ask a stranger a question and find strangers striking up a conversation me regularly.

I spend about 20-30% of my time in Winter Park, and people are even better there.

Most likely transplants from texas or California.

I think people here are friendly but they are often interested in different things. Starting a conversation with what you do for work or restaurants would be normal in other places I've lived but not here.

Unless you do something rly cool, like have a side job as a go-go dancer or life coach… or, better yet, are good at dog training!

Sorry that you’ve experienced this OP. Where are you meeting people? Or, where have you experienced unfriendliness? Genuinely curious.

It must be you and / or you must be from Texas. People are very friendly

Yeah, can confirm that people from texas are not great. Even good, most of the time.

It's the people from Chicago and the east coast... not people *from* Denver

Chicago transplants are mostly chill, I find. The Chicago folks that are hung up on Chicago all stayed there I guess.

OP - Sometimes personalities and styles clash, try another neighborhood, different scene, or amusements.

If you’re having trouble getting along with everyone, maybe look for the common factor in all those relationships?

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.

Considering moving to Denver to be closer to nature and family. Husband and I can easily transfer jobs. No kids yet but ideally soon.

We live in Chicago (Lincoln park) and love it - the walkability, bar and restaurant scene, shopping, cleanliness, etc. - and are trying to find similar neighborhoods in the Denver area. I’d like something bougie (not afraid to admit it), safe, with single family homes and that’s not too hipster/crunchy/west coast grunge. Any neighborhood recommendations?

I don’t understand how majority of folks afford rent here. Also, how these luxury apartment buildings stay full capacity. Seems as if majority of Coloradans I meet aren’t raking it in $$$.
