There are obvious exceptions to everything. But I’ve lived in Atlanta, Orlando, SF and Seattle.

Moving to SF was a career multiplier. I instantly doubled my salary.

Now, I’m earning 2-5x more than my peers (that were more senior than me) that chose to live in those cities.

Walmart was started in Arkansas. Warren Buffet famously lives in Nebraska.

But the Tier 1 cities create more wealth for more people than Tier 2 or 3 cities.
