I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy

Pack your most important and needed items last, so they are unloaded first. Make sure you change your ID’s and registrations to in state. Can be very expensive, I moved from OH to MA and had to pay a bunch of fees and registrations that I did not have to in OH. If you commute, traffic will likely be different and people will drive differently than you are accustomed to, be aware.
Oh wow! I bet the move from OH to MA was shocking in those regards. Thanks for sharing your experience & advice!
I'd say consider the fact that you are starting over. Do you have a support system in your new location? That will be important for your mental health & confidence in starting over in a new state. Give yourself a year to 18 months to really settle in. When I moved, I greatly doubted my decision for the first 6 months. It's a HUGE transition, but you can do this. Good luck!
That's some solid advice. Thanks so much!
This might be very specific, but if you're hiring movers (a lot of relocation funds allow people to hire movers), then just be prepared that whatever they quoted you on the moving price is low. My last move (with movers) was 2-3x higher than the quote and they took 2-3 weeks to show up! So perhaps get a recommendation for a trustworthy mover if possible!
