How do you make a career move to a state you've never been to? |
Travel Info I have a great job opportunity from a good friend in north suburban Atlanta and I've been living in the Chicagoland area all my life. I have very little family, but more friends in the Marietta area, but I've never been to Georgia. Considering that fact that I haven't even checked out the company, about how many trips should I make there before I decide on such a big move, what are the nicer parts of north suburban atlanta, and how's the cost of living down there? I need all the advice I can get! Travel Tips I can only answer the first part of your question and that is to visit the city and company and see if you even like it..If you do, then your heart will tell you what to do...blessings! Others You just do it. I moved to PA from Lawrenceville four months ago to be with this company... and a woman, of course. Some days it sucks and some days it's great. Either way it's not too horribly different than where I came from. I can be happy anywhere and I can be miserable anywhere. ANY NEW EXPERIENCE IS PRICELESS DON'T BE AFRAID GO FOR IT LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE GRAB IT BY THE HORNS AND BE FREE HAVE FUN AND GET PAID FOR IT LIVE YOUR LIFE DON'T HIDE FORM IT. I moved across the country for a better job when I'd lived there all my life. Been here 2 years and haven't regretted it. I visited only once previously for a week. I think you should visit a week if you can, but at least go there once. Good luck. Just addressing your first question -- you just decide and do it! We've moved all over the U.S. and several places outside. In the U.S., cultures differ from place to place, but that just gives you experience - broadens your horizons. That is a good thing! The thing you really need to know, is that it is hard to move. You should move with a positive attitude, but expect to struggle. I've found that, once you've lived in a place for 2 years, it's really hard to leave - you always learn to love it. Some places grow on you right away, and some you have to give it some time. One of my favorite sayings is: You can never discover new oceans until you're first willing to leave the shore! The cost of living is fairly high in that area, so I have been told. Had a nephew living there for a while with a four yr degree who still said it was hard. As for yourself, I would visit once and check out the area. You can contact their local Chamber of Commerce for info regarding the better areas, restaurants, attractions, etc. Sometimes you can do this on the web by typing in the city and the name Chamber of Commerce. Wishing you a happy life. Once you decide to go, you arrange for a place to live (at least temporarily), a means to get your belongings to your new home, and hit the road. I moved from Colorado to Washington state about 2 years ago for work, and had a grand total of 17 days from the time I was hired until the time I had to report to work! |
