Moving away from a major city, Moretti found, can be terrible for your career.
The market for WFH jobs has cratered, putting everyone who moved away from big cities at risk.
Those who moved away from big cities effectively gave up their career insurance.
In a big city, you also run into people who work for other companies in your industry — on the bus, at the bar, in line at the deli.
"The benefits of being a big city," Moretti tells me, "have been underappreciated" during the pandemic.
