I am applying to positions outside of my current state and I wonder if that impacts my chances of getting a job. I’m geographically flexible for the right opportunity. Mobility is something I can offer but is that a pro or a con. How does flexibility influence hiring decisions? I’m curious how much it truly matters and if they don’t give an offer because of relocation costs?

Most jobs don't seem to take candidates outside of their geographical location very seriously. Maybe they think they won't really relocate (because most people won't) or they need people to start ASAP. I've never had any luck applying outside of my city/state even though I'm very clear that I'll gladly relocate.

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at. I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

Fair ? Good? Bad ?

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
