I am 30 something single, work in the tech field, and debating whether to relocate to one of these locations. What would you say makes Chicago better than Indy?

You'd do better posting this in the City-Vs-City forum.

Indianapolis is more like Muncie on steroids. Chicago is a world wide city, more like LA and NY than like Indianapolis or any other town in the Midwest.

Have you ever been to these two cities? They are not even comparable, Indy is a small middle of the road city with a laid back feel, Chicago is a huge world class city with an incredible skyline, waterfront, restaurants, bars, sports, museums, culture, events and on and on and on...

Yes. I'm not talking about visiting, I'm talking about living there. I have not lived in either city.

Same difference, do you prefer a small laid back city with not much going on or a huge fast paced city with so much going on, it can be overwhelming?

The two IMO don't compare. The only positive I see Indy having over Chicago is COL. Outside of that I would say Chicago wipes the floor with Indianapolis.

Well, depends on what you're looking for and what your preferences and interests are.

As far as career growth and networking? Without a doubt Chicago. If you want a low cost living situation then Indy.

Culturally it isn't even close.

Again...if on vacation, the fast paced city sounds great. Living there could be another story.
