I am finding many designers I talk to decide where to live based on where they can find work.
Anybody here like a city or place so much that you'll stick to it even if there's no current work available in the 'design' world?
Do you find yourself following jobs to other cities or declaring a place as 'home' and making it work?

I use to be a job chaser but recently settled down in philly.

Depends on the city. Amsterdam is pretty cool. Even if you dont have the bigshot designer job you want.

Right now I'm a job chaser (as I'm unemployed). Saying that, there are certain places I really want to live and I apply to more jobs there - and places where I avoid applying

hopefully I'll be my self-employer next year, and will be able to follow my gf in any city she will go.
so 3rd option : follow your love.

Oh, the 3rd option is always a tricky one.. sometimes it just puts unnecessary in case one of you cant find job :( (speaking from my own experience).
I usually find jobs in cities I want to live, and I usually do that once a year, but now Im so settled in Copenhagen, scared of flying and with friends around me that maybe I will be staying here for now...But yeah, always been place chaser I guess

If you have the freedom to go whereever you want to go, pick the coolest place you are willing to work
