Aside from the obvious thing that shut down life as we knew it before March 2020...
I come to Atlanta 2-3 times a year. Over the last couple years, In my opinion, the talent pool has dwindled significantly. Its definitely been a shift towards lower end hood rats, all the aggregator lists filling with scammers, etc.. It seems to have gone downhill fast compared to my other cities I travel to for work.
Seems like every time I manage to find a UTR provider, or see one a couple of times, they disappear as fast as they came. I know thats always been part of the game - but absolutely worse here than many other destinations.
I know I am spoiled being based in Texas, as we always seem to have the most going on, and an amazing talent pool.
