Has anyone relocated? What’s the trick? I miss my family and friends so much but dream gig running legal and compliance. Investment endowment making 375 and 30% bonus. My job is my dream role but losing family and friends all of whom were in a 30 minute radius including extended family is just killing me.

Investment endowment is truly a dream gig

It wasn't worth it to me. But I relocated to the suburbs which made finding social activities and community harder than moving to a larger city.

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?
