Adding as another option: Splitting your time between an EA hub and your home base. This obviously depends a lot on your comfort with travel, distances involved and costs but if you can make it work it can be great. This can look like working during the week in the EA hub and spending the weekend at home, when most social stuff is happening anyway. Or traveling for a week every month or so to co-work with people can also give you lots of benefits if you are strategic about it.
For me moving completely to an EA hub was never really an option because of various social ties, so I am grateful to have found people that showed flexibility around working arrangements.
Great post, thank you so much for putting it out!
