I’ll assume you’ll probably want your own apartment. Personally I would keep it under 2.5K a month and would prefer to do cities you would less likely visit on vacation one day with a family, just so you could explore local spots on your own pace.
If you’re doing the east coast cities, Philadelphia is affordable and accessible to NY and DC by bus or train. Plenty of coffee shops to work remote, and no car needed.
Chicago for the Midwest, but that would push the budget, which could be spent for the west coast. Instead, if I had a car I would consider doing short sprints of Pittsburg, Colombus, and maybe Indianapolis, and Milwaukee. Then squeeze small cities like Ashville.
West coast, you can do Salt Lake City, and Boise. Though, if I would expand my budget so that Sacramento (get you access to NorCal), Seattle, and even San Diego are within range.
