I loved Ann Arbor when I visited when I was hired at Duo and it has raised my interest in moving to Michigan (once a job allows it, my current remote gig has limited locations due to logistics) but I doubt it will be A2 just because of the cost of living. One of my interests is to drop in cost of living from Austin but Ann Arbor is not far behind.

All the surrounding areas of Ann Arbor are reasonably priced. I live in Dexter (working remote) and love it here. Close enough to go to Ann Arbor whenever I want but far enough away to get a big house and lots of land.
When I did work for a startup in town a couple of years ago we were constantly talking about how to entice UoM grads to stay after college.
The biggest industry here seems to be the hospital system. Throw a rock at a crown and you’ll probably hit a few physicians.
A2 has a ton to offer for being such a small town. Personally, I love the small town feel but still manages to have all the amenities of a larger city.
As long as you can handle the Michigan winters the summers are very temperate. There’s a lot to do here especially if you aren’t afraid to travel up north and enjoy the outdoors.
