If you have relocated....
Did you move or have a job first?
I want to move on a date already set forth, but the chances of me having a job by then is slim. I can manage financially without one...but is it foolish to leave a job without having one in the new city?

Re: If you have relocated....
I had a job first.
I am not really a risk taker, so I would never move anywhere without a job, or without something very serious in the pipeline.

Re: If you have relocated....
I just moved. I didn't have a job, but I had resumes out. About 3 weeks later I landed an office job. During the 3 weeks temporarily, I worked in retail to make ends meet.

Re: If you have relocated....
I think it's a personal decision. We are moving to Florida next month. I have been looking for a guidance counselor position for months. I will hopefully have a job by Friday when I attend another Teacher Job Fair down there. Regardless, we are moving there, even if I have to do something else until I can land a guidance position.

Re: If you have relocated....
We just moved to FL in May. We both didn't have jobs when we moved, but started sending out resumes a month before we knew we would be down here.
I got an email one week after we moved here for a position in a college and ended up getting that job.... started 2 weeks ago.
DH had several interviews and recently got a job offer.
We made sure we had 3-4 months of $$ to live off without touching our savings... in case we didn't have jobs for a few months.
Good luck!!

Re: If you have relocated....
We've just moved. DH had a job, I still don't have a job (although I'm a consultant too and have a pretty steady income coming in with that).

Re: If you have relocated....
I moved first. It took me a while to find a job and I was miserable and freaking out that I made the wrong decision. But I did eventually find a job (4 months later) and I had enough in my savings to live off of until then.

Re: If you have relocated....
I haven't relocated, but I would without a job. that's what our nest egg is for. it is very challenging to get a job somewhere that you don't live. I know people who have, but it's not always easy.

DH is able to telecommute through his old job in NY, and I landed a teaching position about 4 months before we got here.

Re: If you have relocated....
Thank you for sharing your stories.
I'm ok going without a job...my SO has a job so financially we will be fine. I think I will be anxious and nervous but don't want to delay my move until I find a job. Worst case Im thinking I can temp until something comes up.
I just don't want to be totally irresponsible. Like some of you said...I think it will be easier to search once Im there.
Thanks once again for sharing

You can say that again - it's been VERY difficult!

I seem to remember you were in finance? I would look up what companies are headquatered where you are going and just randomly send resumes to their HR dept what you are looking for...GL!
