I’m always very conscious of the selection bias of the people writing these types of articles. They tend to have succeeded in a major city, but as the author says:

> “It’s not casual. It’s not a place for a comfortable work/life balance. It’s fueled by ambition. People go go go.”

What of all those, and they will likely be most people, that don’t thrive in that environment. Are they getting a net benefit moving to a major metro? I really don’t know the answer there. The statistics are messy. All other things being equal, those of my friends that moved back to my hometown after college do not seem less happy or satisfied with their lives than those who went to major metros.
