Would you leave SF for a tech job in the Midwest? @jmj left San Francisco for Kansas City with a bag of clothes in 2011: "I saw the company on Twitter, which is what I was doing at the time. Mostly just meeting people on Twitter. They put out a job posting for a growth marketer. I DM'd the founder. We got on a call the next day. They said, 'You need to move to Kansas City tomorrow because we have all these other people who want the job.' I left San Francisco and moved to Kansas City without even knowing if it was Kansas City, Missouri or Kansas City, Kansas. I didn't actually know the difference between the two. To me, Kansas City was just a place. I went there with one bag of clothes, and I didn't have a place to live. My friends thought I was absolutely crazy. It was like, why are you leaving the tech ecosystem to go work in the Midwest at some company? The experience taught me that you can do crazy things, pivot your career, literally leave a city and go to Kansas City to start your career. That seemed like a crazy idea at the time.”
