Dr. Yalcin Acikgoz was recently featured as an expert in a Coworking Cafe article about the best small cities for building a strong career. In the piece, Dr. Acikgoz explains why more professionals are choosing smaller cities over big metro areas, especially as remote and flexible work become more common. He points out that lower housing costs, shorter commutes, and a better balance between work and personal life are big reasons people are making this shift. At the same time, he reminds readers that smaller cities can have fewer job openings in very specialized fields, so it’s important to think ahead about long-term growth and networking. His comments help readers see both the benefits and the limits of moving away from major cities, and offer clear, practical advice for anyone thinking about where their career might grow best.
