Currently work in operations as a data analyst. Have a few years experience in Canada. Anyone have experience making the move, which big cities in the US have a healthy job market and good living? Looking to make a move after the endemic but don't know how to start!

Don't look at the big cities as much, as things are kind of in flux, especially NYC and Chicago. Silicon Valley has jobs, but sharing a studio apartment with someone will cost you a minimum of $2k/month USD. There are some good firms that have satellite offices in South Dakota. North Dakota is one big military base, so the mil-industrial complex has offices there.

What I would do is find the company you want to work for, and then find one of their satellite offices in the lesser-populated states. Trying to move here to a big city is going to cost you a shit ton of money, but going to a smaller location won't cost you as much. I would be much more concerned with the who you want to work for than the where do you want to work.

Austin is an overheated super liberal hellhole where it's easy to live out your ugliest and most illegal sexual fantasies, all the while being able to larp as a Texan.

You would need an H1-B visa which is not guaranteed. You get it through a lottery system, as the data analyst job is not on the list of the TN visa approved jobs. What you can do to bypass this if you have a degree in computer science, since software developers are on that list. Wish you luck on your career

Many cities in the midwest are growin g, and it's much cheaper to live than on the coasts
