Re: Advice please - should I move to a random city
We took a HUGE chance moving back to the area I grew up about 4yrs ago. My partner didn't have a job offer or anything, and the move was financed by my ex-boyfriend, who got a decent sum of money as settlement for a work injury. My partner's place of work at the time, back east, was truly horrific, and they had been incredibly depressed for about a year. Their job had promised them they would be hired after 3mo, then told them they said no such thing, and said maybe in another... meanwhile, my partner was sending out their resume and getting no bites.
And I was pretty depressed and missing my home in the Seattle area. My ex also had sentimental reasons too; his mom had family in the same area, and they had intended to move when he graduated high school, but the family member that was going to help them out had things change. My parents also had their second home that they had been unable to rent for about 2yrs.
So, we took a giant chance and moved. We knew we would have some amount of help from my folks, but it was still a huge risk. My partner and ex both had never lived outside of the Boston area, and there was no guarantee that my partner would be able to find work. As it turns out, my partner found an amazing job after about a month of looking that has been so very good to them and us. My partner spent a year only able to work half hours because of illness, and they not only didn't fire them, but they gave them a raise because of exemplary performance; my partner works full-time now as a remote employee. With my partner's health issues, without the amazing support of their job, they would be having to pursue disability.
It has been very good for all of us; things went sour with my ex, but he has been able to get support for his disability here that he wouldn't have back east. I'm personally much happier living somewhere that people have not been jerks to me about my own disability, or being obviously with my girlfriend, or my gothy dress and brightly colored hair.
ANYWAY. Long comment is long and CSB but I just wanted to give the anecdote that sometimes risky chances can pay off and actually be pretty amazing :)
