I have spent a third of my life here now, grew all my professional connections (and closest friendships) here, understand the market spaces here better, and also just like to live here. My company's product primarily targets the US market and distance makes me lose context. My cofounders are American and live here, and while we are remote friendly since we don't even have an office (I mean I did it for two years), I want remote work to be an option, not forced upon me. The bandwidth of in person co-working sessions and convenience of time zones and meeting up with an hour's notice is obvious. But from a personal perspective, that this is where I grew into a professional adult and where I want to continue my career is more than enough reason.
