Disappointed Chicago didn’t make the cut 😔

like

Chicago is easily in the top half of this list. Food, night life, and theaters alone it’s top three or four on this list for each. It’s also significantly cheaper then the ones that would be above in each category. Can’t argue with weather or O’Hare though

like

San Diego or Seattle of the listed ones. But really it’s DC or SF/East Bay (Peninsula suckssss) for me.

like

EAST BAYYY

like

My personal ranking (currently living in the Bay Area):
1a. Seattle — amazing access to nature, cool climate, existing friend/family base
1b. New York City — unparalleled density and variety of experiences
3a. Portland — kind of Seattle lite with less diversity
3b. San Diego — seemed like a nice city when I visited, although the weather drags it down a bit
3c. Denver — access to mountains is great but no large bodies of water and less diversity (the Asian food options are particularly lacking)
6a. Palo Alto — this would be higher if you expand it to include the City/rest of the Bay Area and if I don’t consider home ownership. Palo Alto is too suburban for me.
6b. Los Angeles — as much as I love this city for its incredible food, I can’t stand the necessity of cars, the traffic, and the heat. I have friends here I’ve never met up with because in the time it takes to drive from the LAX area to SGV I could fly back to SFO
8. Miami — I prefer bars > clubs, mountains and rocky shorelines over sandy beaches, cold over hot... so this is just a fundamental mismatch

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses.
