Currently living in my hometown. Joined Accenture a few months back and MD wants me to move to another city. I’m living with some family currently and want to wait it out due to covid, layoffs, etc. but I want to move out of my family’s place but still in the same city till I move. I just don’t have enough room here. Thing is I don’t want to buy new furniture and then have to bring it with me to that new city. I’d rather bring less to that new city and buy when I get there. What should I do?

Get a furnished apartment? Don't know if it's a thing there but here most apartments either come furnished or the leaving tenant sells the furniture to the incoming one

Speaking from experience - you can get by with a bed, a desk chair and a folding table for a few months. Air mattress if you’re really not picky.

Either that or furnished place above.

Also in the kitchen - a 3 quart instant pot and a dutch oven and you can cook almost almost anything.

Are you a dude? I mean you should be able to get by just fine with an air mattress and futon. Maybe a desk since we’re working from home.

What’s the rationale for moving to a new city during a pandemic where neither ACN nor your clients have open offices?

If you are signing a lease that isn’t in your offer city you should find out how to get out of it when you need to. Relocation was probably a precondition of your offer and if your office/client starts travel again you could be expected to show up daily in the offer city without travel compensation. It could be an employment issue for you. (It is also a reporting issue on your timesheets and on your taxes.) HR has been giving temporary location exemptions during the crisis - consider requesting one so that your ducks are in a row.

Any cheap Airbnb options?

Wouldn’t the company pay for your furniture to be moved?
