I am considering uprooting my family and moving to TN for a better quality of life. I am having one heck of a time trying to find a new job while states away, while working full time. Does anyone have any pointers? The thought of this move makes me wish I could just quit now.

Yes looking at other taxes. Also just cost of living. From what I’ve researched, we could sell our home here, pay cash there, property taxes are like $1500 vs 8k here. Be debt free and still have funds available. Much less expensive compared to Washington.

I think you should filter for recruiters in the area you are located. They would be happy to do all the leg work for you and they may surprise you with jobs that are a great fit you would not have found on your own.

My Senior Manager quit on us a couple of months ago, now my manager just did as well yesterday.

I'm in a small firm, where there is no one with tenure anymore. The new Senior Manager just started and does not know the clients either.

Last busy season was hell because we were short staffed (only 3 of us), and I fear that next one will be even worse because we are in a market where we do not have a ton of people we could hire.

This feels like a new job and I'm not liking it at all.
