7. Interesting about Madison

I'm in kind of the same boat as you - affluent married white heterosexual male. Because of my skill set, I've been contacted about jobs in my field all over the country. Madison, Wisconsin stood out to me because it was the one city that I had been contacted about that I heard nothing negative about. (I would often post in the Lounge here and in another online forum) - even if I heard mostly positives about an area, there were generally a few negatives that people mentioned. Nothing negative on Madison. Nobody had anything bad to say about the city and the area.

I would say I've been contacted about jobs over the past 15 or so years in nearly all of the top 50 metro areas in the US except those in the Pacific Northwest and a few in the Midwest like St. Louis/Kansas City (though, I was recently contacted about a job in the Lawrence, KS area) and Salt Lake City. And, I've traveled to interview at many as well.
