I work in engineering here and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The job market for my field is surprisingly good. Hope this helps!.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it exceeded my expectations. No regrets on my end..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I genuinely enjoy living here. Internet is solid in most areas.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Atlanta about 6 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Decent public transit for the size
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Limited shopping options
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are reasonable, gas is better than expected.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
