Smart. It's more than a job though, since you're effectively investing in building relationships within an eco-system.

Certain paths make more sense in NYC; if you're selling into finance or publishing. If you're wanting to do a venture funded startup (or raise investor capital). Adtech is probably stronger there too.

Others make sense in low cost markets; bootstrapping a product for middle America. Stay cheap for that.

Pick your long term path then pick your environment.
