Job market in Plum for tech?

Been meaning to ask this. The median home value here is around $218,600, which is actually reasonable. With a population of 26,873, Plum is a smaller city. Median household income is $98,475, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a smaller city city with about 26,873 people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Is this normal for Plum? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I'm a project manager and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is excellent and there's always something going on.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 15 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is better than expected.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
