Ask HN: Best city for a young new grad to start career?

4 pointsonedev1 comment

With SF, Seattle, NYC, Austin, and so many other compelling cities, what's the best option for an ambitious 20-something? Keeping in mind things like living costs, atmosphere (as far as people), etc

What are your experiences in the city you live in right now and would you reccomend your city to a new graduate?

Not sure what your career path is, but I'm going to make the assumption that you're a software developer. SF and NYC are silly expensive (I live in Silicon Valley, south of the city, and it's also very expensive). You don't list these places, but I'd take a look at Boulder and Denver. Both have thriving startup communities, and both are reasonable in terms of price of living. If you like big city, go Denver, looking for a more tight-knit community, check out Boulder.
