Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.
Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.

There are plenty of nearby states that qualify, the problem is most of them are not politically viable if you've lived in Illinois for years. I landed here because western Indiana was just too MAGA for me, for example. Indiana is a lovely state, and I'd gotten quite used to calling it home and tolerating the morons rolling coal and such. But then the pandemic hit, and every time I tried to wear a mask in public someone managed to make a big deal out of it.
Honestly? Not a deal breaker, I love pissing off maga hats, and working in customer service for years? Telling entitled folk to suck it is my life blood.
Besides, my vote is still my vote, no one can take that away
Nice. Then I would highly rec Vigo County, IN. Col is very low, esp rent. Fiber available in a surprisingly large footprint and not just on major streets for biz.
Will DM a couple WFH pos that I know exist or will fairly soon. Lots of hiring on interesting/unique factors candidate brings to table, very little hiring based on degrees/years experience, at that level.
Was first time I ever felt like someone was actively listening to my interview answers and paying attn and I’ve been working 25 years.
