I'm wondering why the entire southeast of the US was left out of the analysis? I'd have imagined ATL or Miami would have enough data to add to the report and cost of living is fairly low even in comparison to many of these other cities.
- FLUX-YOU 10y agoI'd like to know too. I make 65k with a $600 rent. Beginning to wonder if I'm missing out because happiness could be better
- w0rd-driven 10y agoI went through a round with hired.com and I'm based in Atlanta. While you can specify that you're not willing to relocate the selection of potential employers looking for someone here was seemingly low. It wouldn't surprise me if there was very little to no matches for whatever reason. I feel like Atlanta is a tech hub but some days it doesn't want to act like it. I would think Miami is somewhat similar with Nashville coming close behind but there aren't any concrete explanations. All I can really do is speculate from anecdotal evidence.
- echelon 10y agoAnecdotally, Atlanta has a great tech scene. I'm earning SF salary and comp, and my cost of living is extremely cheap. The culture here feels much more heterogenous, too. Atlanta has a lot of fintech and medical tech companies, and it sports a cottage startup scene at Georgia Tech and the ATDC. We've seen a number of local startups do really well: Airwatch, MailChimp, etc.
