Too lazy to type 10. NY, Boston, LA/OC.
Just google the 10 largest cities or the 10 most economically productive cities. That's your answer.
In no particular order.
NYC
Dallas
Boston

Thoughts on Chicago?
Aside from a select few firms, pay is very low across the board even at top name shops, and this is in consideration that it’s a MCOL city. Compensation tends to be at a 30-60% discount to other metros. Go to California or NY for fair comp.
Cost of living is also 30-60% cheaper than other metros
