Just moved yesterday. I have a job, a decent package and I like the culture here. If we remove the upcoming weather out of the situation, I don’t think it’s too bad.

great thread ... C1 USD to USD conversion... how much of a paycut did you have to take

SM1 when did you move ? And did you have a role lined up? What industry/skill set do you focus on ?

Love it here - struggles of being new to a city is there but overall easy! ESP healthcare - had to go into a walk in clinic for quick check ups in and out within 30 mins - didn’t have to pay anything

Folks, mind sharing more details on where you moved from and to (cities), did you have jobs lined up prior to moving, are the jobs at similar levels (not just money wise) and anything you'd recommend to others considering the move
