OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Springfield. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

The food scene here is challenging. Tons of great Mexican places. I have mixed feelings honestly.

I've been living here for 11 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The job market is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value food scene, you'll love it. The weather is genuinely solid and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Springfield) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Atlanta, be prepared for the culture shock. walkability is completely different here. And Nightlife is limited.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
