When I was 35, I did that. Moved to LA to work on a really great brand, knew two people in the city who lived all the way on the other side of town. I made a couple really good friends at the new office. The work/life balance wasn’t as bad as I had worried. The job made my career. I am was also single and childless. I stayed 2.5 years and moved back home. It was the best decision I could have made. I was coming from working at no-name agencies in a small market, so, while I was terrified, I couldn’t turn it down.
Go off what you know, not what you can’t know. If the job is good and you want to do it, then why not try it out? Being open to change ushers all kinds of opportunities into your life that you can’t possibly predict right now.
And if you go and it doesn’t work out for you or you don’t like it or you feel homesick or whatever occurs, worst case scenario is you move back to where you are now knowing that location is more important to you than you’d previously recognised, plus with experience in a different market on your resume and extra earnings in your pocket from your time away.
Nothing is forever so make your decision seeing this whole possibility as an opportunity to learn more about yourself and what matters to you. Good luck!
