I got my CS degree from the University of Iowa. Iowa City is a nice town. My parents have lived in Cedar Rapids for the past 20 years, so I've visited Iowa often.

I wouldn't be opposed to moving there, but I also have no desire to make it a target destination.

The tech landscape seems to largely be older, more conservative companies: Rockwell Collins, NCS Pearson, GoDaddy, John Deere, etc.

GoDaddy is a "conservative" company among the likes of John Deere and Rockwell Collins?

I went to Iowa as well and really enjoyed Iowa City. I think it’s a great place to get an education but I also lived there for a year after college and was happy to move to a larger city.

Met a lot of people from Chicago who either went to U of I or sent their kids. Nobody seems to want to stay though.
