How did you decide where to live? Have a young family, working remote, and currently living in a city. Looking to move to the suburbs but a bit overwhelmed with the number of options. Also struggling since we don’t live close to family and don’t like the areas family members currently live in.

School rating. Education is the cure-all solution that solves and implies every other livability rating

like

Do you find the ratings accurate? Or just helpful in a directional manner. There’s a part of me skeptical of school ratings in a “chicken vs egg” manner. Like what actually makes a school good? Teachers, the building? Or having a bunch of hyper involved, educated parents all sending their kids to the same location.

I guess if it’s the latter, that’s kind of what you mentioned in your original post anyways…

If you have kids, school rating is the best way to go. Best way to narrow down your choices. From there all depends on if it want to be closer to a metro area vs another, proximity of grocery/shopping centers, etc.

I am currently expecting, have informed my team. Since the organisation is in hybrid mode, when discussed earlier i was told that it is flexible in terms of wfh depending on my health condition. But now my department wants me to be in office twice a week irrespective of the prior discussion. Still half of the office is on hybrid mode. Is it a fair ask?

Has anyone else in their job search noticed how the fully remote positions have hundreds (if not over 1000) applicants while the on-site or hybrid positions have very little? Are we all now competing for these remote jobs?? 😩
