In essence, I can go somewhere that I wouldn't mind getting stuck, but doing so would increase my chances of getting stuck by taking longer to become competitive. If that makes any sense. Any insight/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Well for my decision it came down to fastest upgrade, most options for extra work, and then commute. Keeping in mind I have no “family” and my fiancé is a major FA. So for me personally that was the fastest route to a major and staying financially secure. Gotta figure out your priorities.
To your point, if seniority is everything, it applied at regionals and majors. Better to be quick IMO
