I am wondering if I would even want to accept the job if I got an offer due to having to live in these cities.

Yes, the job is definitely something I would enjoy doing and for which I am qualified.

I've been to Indianapolis a couple times.

Those places really make New Orleans look like a village. I was a bit surprised. 4 hours or something to Chicago.

Cold as hell though. I lived up north one year, and that was enough.

Dude, Cleveland isn't as terrible as some make it out to be. And Indianapolis is a really nice town.

If you have a great job opportunity, that's half the battle in making any city a decent home.

Fwiw OP I'm in the process of moving back to Cleveland. It's my wife's hometown and I recently came up on a pretty nice job opportunity. We left in 2008, but visit usually about once a year, and it seems to be thriving way better than when we left.

If you have a good job, love sports, and aren't a completely miserable frick that doesn't know how to socialize and meet people, any major city can be a fun place. And Cleveland is very close to a lot of interesting towns.

ETA: if you're just gonna be there a year for training, it could be a good experience.

A city is what you make it.

My first job was in Lawton, Oklahoma. HUGE bag of suck, until I got out and about, meeting folks and doing random local things.

Both the cities you listed are full of things that will captivate your interest and occupy your time.

I've never heard anything good about the city of Cleveland (my old roommate was from there). A friend of mine lived in Indianapolis for about 4 years and loved it.

I lived in Cleveland. It's got a lot of good parts/aspects.

I would pass on both but it really depends on your interests and preferences

Avoiding Ohio when possible is good advice generally.

Of course, it isn't the worst place to be, but there is a reason it is bleeding people.

Not sure Indy can beat that.

Never been to Cleveland but they can't sell cold beer in convenience stores in Indiana. I wouldn't last a week.

My friend's parents are pretty wealthy, and they live just outside of Cleveland. Their place is really nice.

Downtown Indy is really nice and getting better. The area around Lucas oil stadium is great and there is a pretty cool minor league baseball park next door, along with a soccer stadium. The locals are Midwestern friendly and it's easy to meet people.

I wouldn't hesitate to spend a couple of years there.

Indy is an alright city. A bit cookie cutter and bland, but no reason it couldn't be an enjoyable place to live.

Cleveland is more fun and has infinitely more character. Stay out of the rough parts and you'll be fine.

The only good positives of Indy vis a vis Cleveland are that it has slightly milder winters and it's pretty close to Chicago
