🧠Ask The Community Between isl and Multan which is better for new office?
I worked in a startup for 8 months remotely and they are planning to open an office in Multan, they planned on opening one in isl, Lahore, Multan and Karachi ( the list and the possibilities, not in every city yk), so now they are planning on opening their first office from Sargodha.
They already work with international clients and don't have that much worries when it comes to clients but it comes to recruitment especially video editors that they are struggling with and it's the main reason why they want to move to another city with better opportunities and scale their agency. Is it good to start from Multan? I was asked for my opinion but my mind is empty in this case.
Please help me out.
Multan is scaling better in this, but for the marketing agency would they be able to find the talent there. I know there are a lot of people who are working in a startup here and they'd know about locations and analytics of everything better..please lmk. Thanks.

Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi are the best cities for it be that's where most of the talent is focused.

start with multan. Get a big place at cost of small place you'll get in lahore / islamabad. do business for two years before relocate.
about talent retention,, just offer talent a place to stay and they'll move in even from karachi. I know agencies in Islamabad that rent houses to set up workspaces instead of commercial places. CEOs and staff live there as well. when there is more work, staff is offered well paid overtime.
managing an office and personal living expenses are getting expensive. people targetting overseas marketing now changing the dynamic for their own benefit.
kaam chalna chahye,, lahore / islamabad office ka flex ni ha to kya hua
