This is strictly an intellectual exercise. But if you were looking to be an AE, which city or geo area do you think would be the easiest to get a job while having a decent market to sell to. Most people will say, LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, Seattle. But to me, there are just a ton of AEs in those areas. To me, I think Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Houston and possibly Atlanta? Smaller geographies, a lot of commerce around, and feels like less competitive markets.
For the exercise, pretend that your pay is based on geography, ie, you don't get a NYC salary in Birmingham.
