Much more fun than living like most people, doing the daily grind. Third, but still very important, is sacrifice and thinking outside the box.

I have moved back home after graduating and I can hardly stand it.

(One kept financially collapsing and the other wouldn't pay me what I was worth - it definitely looks peculiar on my resume.).

So besides riding in on a transfer, having family or friends to stay with, or getting a high-power position, what are other ways to get a decently paid position out of state? I didn't know this was going to be this long, but feel free to ask me more questions.

When I hadn't found my perfect experience and education related job job, I worked at a department store for income.

We both did not have jobs obviously, but I found a smaller company willing to hear me out. So they're very open to Skype + phone on the first 2-3 interviews. I've applied to over 50 remote positions and have gotten 4 phone calls and 2 interviews. Too many people are dumbasses about relocating.

Most are advertised as 12 months, but 50-50 chance can last longer.

I moved out of state a little over a year ago. Same boat OP. Best thing i have ever done with my life!

Eventually, I was pressed for time, and money was getting too low for my liking. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, etc all don't care where you live in the US. Also create a LinkedIn profile and highlight your technical skills. Now have a sustainable job, own room, and actively looking for a big boy job that will land me ca$h money to do what i've always dreamed of. You can see if your school has alumni board for people looking for roommates in your new city or something, but that never worked out for me.

She spent a lot of time searching, and made sacrifices as well. Came alone and knew nobody here. Tell them you're in the process of moving there for some other reason. I had 3 months expenses in cash and called in a favour so I had a couch to call home for a while. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. I wouldn't be looking at a high level position, it'd be something that there'd be several local applicants that are just as good or better than me.

New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. I have non-managerial experience, so I'm not going to be applying for any CEO positions any time soon. TLDR: Moved from SL to San Diego, no place to live, no job, knew nobody, only $3k. Companies right now are looking for candidates. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. We had enough to get us till June, and neither of us found full time work until August. Enjoy a nice little break, but it's hard getting back into the swing of work after being out for so long. Hence I am trying to claw my way out of here.
