Hi! I’m interested in moving to San Diego in the next six months. Any tips for job searching from New England? I’m currently working in social media, internal communications and content creation at a real estate firm. Curious to know if anyone has done that type of move and how did you navigate the job search.

I moved from Boston to San Diego for work in 2019. It’s much easier now, with all the remote opportunities. I’d just focus on applying to those roles. Securing one of those roles is how you’re going to get out here the quickest.

Agreed, I also started putting a local address on my resume to make it easier...I feel like some places used to scan you out if you had a non-local address but don't think that's the case

I moved from New Jersey to San Diego in 2018 and absolutely love it out here. I was able to keep my job and work remotely but when I was ready to make the move to a west coast company I had a lot of luck working through recruiters with local connections. Would highly recommend that route if you’re having trouble through LinkedIn or other routes.

I’ll try remote first if I don’t have luck. Thank you!

I did Washington DC to San Diego. I would echo the remote opportunities. My job is fully remote and not based in SD. However, there’s still plenty of jobs here. Just get on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and all the other options to see what’s available. The Dept of Defense has a huge presence here so there’s a lot of government contracting that’s always hiring with steady jobs.

Great to know! Thank you :)

I would post in the job referral bowl as well. I have been able to get a couple referrals in there :) Might be helpful to get a referral and get your foot in the door.

Let us know how it goes for you!

I moved to San Diego a few months ago. I love it here, and I got a new job because I didn't want to keep my previous job. I would recommend looking for remote jobs first until you settle here.

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days.

But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
