I am now in my mid 30’s but moving to a second tier city may be one of the best life choices.
I have a small sample but all my New York and SF friends are still single, living in apartments, and grinding at great innovative companies.
My friends in Seattle, Austin, Chicago, seem to have much chiller more fulfilling lives where they have families, real estate, weird funky interests and hobbies.

- astura 9mo agoOMG, Chicago is not a "second tier city," it's an international hub and #3 by both population and GDP and O’Hare is the #1 most connected airport in the United States.
- watwut 9mo agoYeah, one has to be from New York to claim Seattle, Austin, Chicago are second tier cities and thus confirming popular stereotypes about New Yorkers.
- mike50 9mo agoYeah because Seattle is a third tier city. Chicago isn't a second tier city because it is surrounded by 10 other completely irrelevant cites. Austin is solidly a second tier city though.
