May be they enjoy living in a big city with lots of amenities. Access to good schools may also be a consideration factor.

It can be for different reasons peculiar to different people. You could resist due to family, dislike for small towns or little to no amenities fhere

Smaller city or town don't have a good infrastructure so people don't want to relocate there. Whereas I would prefer to relocate there because of less traffic, fresh air and other benifits.

Nobody likes to be limited in any sort of way. We want to enjoy life to fullest. In smaller cities, some amenities may not be available all the time. Secondly, it is difficult to change lifestyle!

Yes, when I become holder I would even wabts to relocate to a smaller town where there are less traffic and noise

 

[Starmix]

That sounds terrible and not an existing problem How could the leaders or officials do that when there is law? What is PM Modi doing, sitting pretty?

 

[SHAHID987]

I, myself won't prefer to relocate in small city with my family even if I offered big salary. The reason is as new small city may depress me and increase my stress so I feel as I won't perform well there.

Senior citizens may be hesitant to relocate to smaller cities despite comparable pay due to many different reasons. Maybe they are reluctant to leave behind the comfort and familiarity of their current home, or they are deeply attached to their communities and love to remain close to their families. In addition, the infrastructure available in larger cities may be a significant factor that influenced their decision.

maybe in some countries they don't want in my country almost all IT professionals who work remotely went to live in small towns in the interior of the country.

Staying in a small city is not something that is really easy for someone that has lived in big cities and worked there till retirement.

Many senior management professionals in the IT sector are hesitant to relocate to smaller cities despite equal work and pay due to several key factors. First, larger cities offer broader professional networks, better infrastructure, and proximity to major clients or partners—critical elements for strategic leadership roles. Second, their families are often established in metropolitan areas with access to better schools, healthcare, and lifestyle amenities. Third, there’s a perception that smaller cities lack career mobility or future opportunities, which may affect long-term professional growth. Additionally, personal preferences, such as social environment, cultural activities, or access to international travel routes, also play a role. For leadership roles that require in-person collaboration with investors or high-level stakeholders, being based in a major city remains more practical and advantageous.
