Ive lived in New York the entire 30 years of my life (just turned 30,was born in NY). I’d rather move to a state that’s more affordable and has better job opportunities. Was gonna try to get a remote/work from home job.
Since I’ve never moved/lived in another state, how exactly does one do a move? Like the steps etc?
Thank you.
You should get the remote job first. They tend to take COL of residence into account when hiring. That would also give you time to not rush the move. You can visit the city you are looking to move to and get an idea of the neighborhoods.
Out of the two, I’d go for the Midwest. Although I hate the South for a number of reasons (weather, politics, sprawl, etc) so I am a bit biased.
You might also check out here in Washington. I know it gets a bad rap as having a high COL but there are tons of places that can be had for decent prices, especially compared with the general salaries here.
I should’ve put this in my post but unfortunately I don’t have a degree/certificate. So a part of me feels like I’m already screwed out of everything
If you don’t mind being in a call center, remote work is a possibility.
Just don’t expect to be paid well.
So basically you’re saying I’m fucked either way
If you hate the politics in the South, the Midwest isn’t really any better. It’s just colder.
Depends where in the Midwest. Obviously not Kansas and Nebraska but Minnesota is definitely better.
