If you're concerned about getting laid off, no, I wouldn't relocate.

The area's not nearly as cheap as it used to be, and has very few of the benefits you'd be used to in a larger city.

Yeah Ill back this up too, last I checked, springfield rent prices are only like 100-200 from St Louis/KC prices. There probably are not any career level software dev jobs here or getable in our area, even remote. Very little to do here as well to be honest.

There are many career software engineers/managers/related that post on this sub and live and work in SGF. Whether a person wants to live here depends on a lot of things, but there are absolutely development jobs around.

Thats good at least, im more on an administrative career path so i wasnt sure in regards to software dev jobs. Springfield doesnt really seem like an area that those would be plentiful.

it should be pretty self explanatory? Like a job you make a survivable and sustainable career out of.
