Career opportunities in Evanston, IL

Curious what people think. I grew up here but left for a while. You can expect to pay around $1,698 for rent here. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Any advice would be great. The suburbs are where most families end up.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I'd watch out for is nightlife. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The cost of living is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've lived in Springfield for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- The healthcare scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
