I’m from Chicago. I was genuinely curious what you didn’t like about Miami. Thank you for sharing!
When I moved from Chicago to LA I had the same experience. People in Los Angeles didn’t have that “Midwest drive”. I hate to say it, but people felt lazy and like they expected everything to be handed to them. I met a lot of folks who were career driven to a fault in the sense that they would step on you and not even bat an eye.
I lived most of my adult life in New York City. NYC has character and different flavors. Miami does not. Now I’m a digital nomad and bounce around working remotely.
