Back in job market again after end of my current contract. I updated my listings (as a UNIX/LINUX C and C++ expert) on Dice and Monster the other day, and the phone began ringing off the hook.
Well, one recruiter wants to know if I am interested in full time work, direct hire, in Detroit, for the process control of a steel mill whose business is reportedly burgeoning.
This looks like a MAGA move to me, and the recruiter points out that it isn't all decay, there is rebuilding going on too.
My rhetorical question: how crazy does a high tech red neck have to be to make such a move? It can't be all bad -- this is Kid Rock territory after all.
To slum in order to MAGA or not to slum, that is the question.
Amazing how many posters think they know what they are talking about here.
You can have your tent.
guy from Houston who moved to Detroit
I still would love to get a summer home in Michigan one day. Convincing the wife is the issue.
Very cool.
I have no problems with at all with the STATE of Michigan except the bugs. But the CITY of Detroit? Oh yes, very well run liberal paradise full of very friendly people. I am not a fool... I listen to it all the time:

I’m in Arizona and absolutely embarrassed of liberal Phoenix. I would live in a tent before I would live there also.
Some days are outliers. Doesn’t change the fact that Detroit’s average humidity is 71%.
Don’t take things so personally. So what if you like crappy weather. Good news: you get to live in the incredibly awful weather you love. Even better news: because most American think that weather blows you get to have lots of elbow room. Enjoy it. While I enjoy only ever seeing that awful weather on TV.
A few more things about Michigan. To vote you need a drivers license. And we're not PC but we love our flag.
There's a good chance that someone in your grocery store aisle is carrying and you don't need a CCP to do that here anymore - or almost anyway...we do have open carry however.
Go find another thread and leave this one to those of us who don't post outright lies which are easily disproved.
Where ever you live, I don't know or care, but Detroiters defend their city and love it, and we are passionate about it.
I love Wyandotte. Always wish I had lived there growing up.

I grew up right around the corner from there and made trips across the lake often. I know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. Detroit averages 42 inches of moist no good for making into balls snow a year, the only sledable hills in the whole damn time zone are Indian burial mounds, it’s humid, the weather SUCKS. Those aren’t lies, those are the stone cold FACTS. Sorry FACTS bother you, but insisting you love it doesn’t make it not so. And I’ll post on whatever thread I want, and if you don’t like it SCROLL PAST.
Suck it up butter cup. The weather sucks and you have too much of your sense of self worth tied to something that truthfully doesn’t freaking matter. Get over yourself, get over the weather, and don’t call me a liar again. By doing that you made YOURSELF the liar.
You're also ignorant because duh, when it rains that changes the average humidity.
When it is not raining or snowing it runs about 30-40%.
This state is famous for snowmobiling, sledding, etc. People come here from all over the country in the winter to enjoy our snow. Kinda makes you look stupid for saying what you do.
Your facts are wrong for today. And they will be wrong tomorrow. I won't respond to you any longer...
Humidity cycles daily and is highest at night when it cools off (even to the dew point, 100%) and most people sleep. I was interested to see Omaha at 69%. Never thought of it as sweat city. You want HUMIDITY, go to somewhere near Miami FL. Plastics mildew down there.
Ah, a dry wit from AZ.
Are you possibly PROJECTING about that self worth thing?
I love being on water. I was born near the water and have spent my life mostly on islands or coastal states.
I like Kid Rock. He’s a very talented musician.
As I said, there are outlier days. But the fact remains: the snowbelt is the snowbelt, and the Great Lakes region of the snowbelt is the sticky part. And the weather sucks, and people are leaving the region in droves because that weather sucks. Them’s reality, whether you admit it or not.
One of the things we detested, besides rain and communism, was the high humidity. So all summer long for an entire summer, every day, we checked the humidity of Detroit, while we were considering moving here. It was a huge factor for our decision making.
That's why I know what I am talking about.
It is true that the weather is unpredictable. We had several weeks of spring this year in Feb which was very odd but enjoyable. And we have had a lot of rain this year...more than we like, and it has kept our laketime to a minimum. We fish, paddleboard, and boat in general.
I have lived in Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan and Washington. By far loving the weather here over any of the others.
We were scared about the snow but a broom and 20 seconds is all it takes to clear our vehicles before work in the morning.
We were scared of the subzero temps as well but found out that a sweater outside in -5 degrees was sufficient because, again, it is dry here. It's when you get inside and the snow melts on you that it is cold. As a child in Detroit I played entire days outside building snowforts and was never too cold.
Anyway I was going to pm you my facebook where I have a ton of great pics and many friends in Detroit you can meet. We are friendly!
Miami, where people believed mosquitoes spontaneously generated as the living embodiment of humidity. With hurricanes. Given the choice between the two, I’d probably go Detroit. I kind of miss midwestern food.
