Why do recruiters think people actually want to live in NJ, CT, GA, WI, etc. They're all crap places to live.

@Daxarhagron Cheap housing at least in a couple of those. If I could get a west coast wage in a place like Madison, Wisconsin, I could afford to buy a house there and actually have financial security.

I'm not gonna, 'cause I prioritize friends and location above absolute financial security, as do most folks I know. It's not the wisest plan, and it honestly probably won't pan out for many of us. :<

@mawr well I am definitely not anywhere within that market
