If I’m trying to move to a city in July, should I start applying for jobs/reaching out now? Wait a bit? My significant other has a job lined up there starting in August.

I would start now or in a few weeks. It took me a couple of months to find a job I like that met my requirements and expectations.

Good call. I have a few connections I can pursue, but I was a little worried that things would start moving too fast. Sounds like it normally takes a couple months regardless!

like

start now. it’s at least a 10-12 week process.

Start now. can you take a trip before July to meet some places live? I just went through this, it took about 3 months to find an agency I wanted to work at.

Smart idea. I’ve got a couple trips planned down there over the next couple months so hoping I can squeeze in at least an informational interview or coffee meet up with some potentials!

a couple of thoughts - expect that it won’t play out ideally and you might be pleasantly surprised.

two - much easier to defer a start date than move one up and most employers [especially with a move] will be empathetic.

and three - the job market is stronger now than it’s been in a while [my recruiters tell me] and it tends to slow in the summer.

This is reassuring stuff. Thanks for the insight!

I’d also add - you have far bigger concerns than arriving a few weeks before your partner.

Well, the timing is strategic too because my current lease (in a different state) is up late June, and we’ve got very little savings to keep us comfortable in between. I’m also hoping to be able to visit my parents before the start date 🤞All factors at play!
