I think It may be time to move. How about Bellingham?

i have a head hunter in SLC calling and emailing me almost daily. some of the jobs sound appealing, but i wont leave bozeman for SLC. if you work in tech and want her email, let me know.

If he's still looking for work, he mustbe a pretty shitty environmental biologist.

Seattle doesn't feel like a big city to me at all and I consider Boston a big city (it's a small one to some)

Pros:
-Lots of intelligent people - interesting, worldly, accomplished
-Lots of outdoorsy people
-Smaller neighborhoods
-Doesn't have the aggression, and hectic feel of a huge city
-Isn't really image-conscious like a cosmopolitan city
-Its physical beauty surpasses any metropolis in the U.S. (imho)
-Doesn't have the crime of a big city
-work environment is ambitious without being "in-your-face" (just my single work experience here)

Cons:
-intelligent people certainly doesn't preclude elitism
-outdoorsy people certainly doesn't preclude elitism
-housing is expensive like a big city
-traffic can be bad like a big city (but you can work around it often)
-doesn't have the public transportation of a big city

edit: I just noticed this thread was started a year and a half ago

another con: will be washed into sea by mudflows resulting from an eruption of Rainier due any day now

the pro to that con is that it's hillsides are steep and when the ice caps melt, most of it won't be submerged when the ocean level rises

Not me that bumped this thread. I will still send out an occasional resume and still get contacted by recruiters, but since I finally got a decent raise I'm not nearly as anxious to move. In fact I just got a unusual EA that reminded me why I took the job I've got. Because there is always something new coming down the pipeline

Weird that this thread was bumped because I recently filled out and application for WSDOT.

B'ham rocks yer fice!

I would move back there if I could find decent paying work, but I caint. So I'm stuck in Seatthole, land of the daily 2 hour stuck-in-traffic commute.
