If you were over 40, had 2 kids under 5, lived in NYC, but were dying to move to burbs (specifically CT to be a little closer to family)…how would you go about confidently doing that, given our volatile AF industry? FWIW I’m mostly remote.

I’m so so sick of being afraid of the other shoe dropping, but it keeps dropping EVERYWHERE! I just want to look at trees on a regular basis and have the kids play in grass that isn’t covered in dog or human poop.

What made you finally take the leap?

What difference does it matter where you live if you are unemployed? If you are worried about a mortgage, just rent for a bit until you feel more stable. Under 5 is the perfect time to move to the burbs especially if you are mostly remote. Do it!

Believing in yourself is crucial to change. If you want this change, then do it. If you loose your job because of it, then find a new one. Remote work isn’t so hard to find if you’re really good at what you do. Live where you can be happy.

I got tired of waiting for it to seem like the clear safe choice. I made the move a year ago. I still have anxiety about remote work going away but I try to tell myself I only need one job. If I lose this one I just have to find something else. And honestly the quality of life with young kids is just so worth the risk.

I am currently CD Director at a major consulting firm working 100% remote (Europe) but am planning to transition into a CD role at one of the large software companies (

Do you believe it's possible for those companies to hire remote talent worldwide? If not, why?
