We ❤ the Midwest. Have you seen the new handbook? Check out this blog from Let's Detroit to see what it’s all about and how to get your free copy 🙌

When people think about tech jobs, they tend to think of Silicon Valley or New York City. They don’t think about the Midwest, which is better known for rolling farmland and wide-open spaces than a booming tech scene where startups thrive. But it’s time to think again about the Midwest. This regi...

Thanks Detroitisit for writing about our new Midwest Salary and Cost of Living Handbook that just launched. Check out some of the research that we did with our friends at Optimist.

Fun fact: as a software engineer in New York City you need to make $109,789 more than what you'd actually be making to have the same standard of living as a software engineer in the Midwest 🤯

Detroit and its suburbs for many of us are the definition of home. Along with the rest of the Midwest, we find comfort in the fiery hues of autumn, peace in fre

Three years ago, re:purpose was started to help connect talented people and great startups. Even though we’re always growing, that mission remains the same. It’s more important now than ever.

After a year of consideration and hundreds of survey responses, we’ve decided to update our name, logo, and url purpose.jobs.

It’s clean and to the point. It’s easy to remember, and easy to find. But most importantly, it tells you what’s at the core of who we are: helping people actually do what they’re meant to do.

Thank you everyone who gave us thoughtful feedback. We appreciate you being on this wild journey with us🚀

Learn more about the journey here: https://www.purpose.jobs/blog/welcome-to-purpose-jobs

See you on purpose.jobs!

We may have updated our name and url to purpose.jobs, but our mission is the same as day one: to help people find a job with purpose.
