Has anyone here moved for a job? Was it worth it? I got a job offer in a different state but I'm anxious to move.

I did it, I love to see new places so it didn't present a problem for me. I took it as an adventure and an opportunity to meet new people as well.

It can be difficult, but meetup groups are amazing for this.

I consider myself a very attached person, I would not like to have to move. Maybe for a good offer I might consider it.

would you move for 90k a year to Massachussets?

You should consider things like how expensive it is to live in that city, if you can get a good place to live easily, if you know people there or how difficult it will be, and if you can get another job there. I know people who moved for their job and did well, and others who are still paying the consequences.

I never really liked my hometown, so when I was offered a job in Los Angeles it wasn't a hard decision to make and I've been very happy here. If your case is similar, you're going to like it. That is, unless your offer includes help with moving expenses and such, it's a big expense that you have to think about if you can afford it.

Oh yeah it was most definitely worth it. I got to live in Boston, my dream city for yeeaaars. I ended up staying here even after I switched jobs, and I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon

That's where my offer would take me!!!! Can you share a bit more about what you like about Boston?

It was scary at first to move away on my own but I feel like I learned a lot about myself and how to be more independent. I would say worth it!

Interesting... maybe it could be good for me to get out of my comfort zone a bit

I have moved to a different country twice for work. It all depends on you and what you prioritize. For me, I love experiencing new places so moving is always a bonus.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
