Appreciate the time you put into this. I understand there's no such thing as a perfect place and compromises are needed but hopefully I can find something relatively suitable for me.

I did see that you'd like to try something different though. Within a few hours you have the ocean, mountains and snow in NC (Asheville), a number of lakes, and only a few hours from larger cities like Charlotte and Atlanta.

Its about 1-2hour drive from Charlotte which has all the sports teams, concert, nightlife of any big city.
If i was starting from scratch- it would be tops on my list.

Imo, you have to take everyones opinions with a grain of salt. You need to experience it for yourself to really truly know.
Perhaps try looking for a job and seeing where that takes you. Look to see if Apex is hiring. Im sure with your experience they might hire you. They are in Atlanta i believe. Start somewhere if you dont like it, try someone else. Once here it'll be much easier and you can go around and visit places.

Yea, for sure. I have to trust my gut and visit each place to see what's what.
It would be very convenient to have a job waiting for me when I get over but I need to collect my green card first and without that I can't really apply for a job.
So my plan is to find a place first. Get an apartment, get all my papers in order and to settle in the first weeks.
Hopefully I can make some connections and practice the language a bit and after that get a job.
