For those who have moved out of state for a new job and were pretty settled before the move (ie house, kids, etc), what was your experience with the move? Any tips?

We were fortunate. We timed our buy and sell for back to back days. Once we had an agreed sale we went on a whirlwind home search. 34 houses in two days (leave the kids at home with a relative...). We had already narrowed down our search area through internet and discussions with coworkers and realtor. We also (and maybe this is a dick move) didn’t make our offer contingent on sale, but had a “discussion” with the bank so they wouldn’t lend unless we closed on the sale (the purchase was contingent on financing, so we couldn’t be contractually compelled to close without the loan).

Do internships count towards years of experience? I held my first design internship in 12th grade (2016), and have since held at least one internship per semester throughout college, all related to my career path - but they were all part time. In my last semester of college (May 2020 grad), I worked as a full time contractor for 18mos. I freelanced after, before working as an FTE the past year.

When asked how many years of experience I have, how should I answer?

Thanks in advance!
