East Coast states are expensive Moma, keep that in mind. I know you've seen threads on here with guys having roommates and paying almost $1,000 a month.

I wanna come south but right now I am looking at job offers. Anything East and North I gotta ask for higher to compensate for the cost of living.

Ideally, I've told recruiters that I want the south. It's time for me to try living in nice weather for the entire year. And winters for y'all in the South don't even phase cats like me.

Remember, I've gone cycling in (-33 Celsius/-25.6 Fahrenheit) weather. I was wrapped up well but well, locals looked at me like I was sick in the skull.

You should talk to Rudeboy his company is here and I think it's your field. The place is full of Tail as well.

Now, about your pretzel logic. So if you get a good offer in Buffalo you're going to spend your money to move there? Just because you get a job doesn't mean you'll like it or last a month at the place. There's plenty of jobs in DC as well. You want to go? Pick where you want to live and go there then find a job there's no need to worry. If I were in your shoes I would move to Florida or Louisiana. Pick place you like or think you do and start scanning craigslist job ads. This is nothing to sweat you should be excited

I spoke to him and I think I applied as well but nothing transpired. We will see, I am working the phones and the net furiously. I have two interviews next week with companies both in Florida. Then after that, I'll try and get into some business.

I second what Houston says. The tri state area is very expensive(NY-NJ-CT) and outside of NYC metro area you are going to need a car . Also, traffic and tolls add up so you going to have to budget for commuter trains(LIRR, MNRR, NJ Transit) monthly passes that aren't cheap. And to top it off because of global warming, sorry, I meant Climate Change. The weather keeps getting shittier and shittier. I don't even know what to wear anymore. I can't wait to move out of this shitty city.

Not to brag but just to prove a point, I make in the 120K range and I live in the hood in Brooklyn. I can't afford to go out every weekend!!!! My co workers who have wives/kids who don't work and live in the suburbs all have second gigs. Between taxes(Federal, NYS and NYC ) and deductions(Health insurance, 401k's, pensions) half your shit is gone before it even gets direct deposited into your account. From the other half you have to pay your rent/mortgage, utilities, commuting cost, car note and insurance, etc...You see the point? very little is left for savings, chasing lizards around and buying Ciroc Coconut. Trust me, you are not going to have the time or energy to go cycling in -33 C weather..

If I were you, I would do Florida or GA, sure wages are lower than the Eastern states but they more than make up for it with great weather, lower housing cost and overall cheaper cost of living and pleasant attitudes of people.

Thanks for sharing that P-w-P +1 and I'm trying to keep Moma out of that trap because he doesnt have ties that some of us have in these places and he's going in for job offer only which is crazy. I'm from Connecticut. Most people do not want to ever want to experience looking for a place to live there.

I am still interviewing furiously. I am on the phone with US port of entry right now trying to look if I can extend my visa to enter US. I am being rushed.

Moma,
Here's a suggestion: I know it's not warm and the weather is shitty but there is big money and you can work 6 months/year and make 6 figs. Alberta. Why not go there? Do it for 6 months/year, make as much coin as possible then travel the rest of the year. Do 3-4 years in AB till you get enough experience, then apply to more desirable locations in Australia, Middle East, Asia, Brasil etc...?

Vacancier, without not trying to tempt fate, I have had enough of Canada.

The lifestyle is shyt to me, the blase nature of the people is killing me. I don't like playing second fiddle.

They claim they are different from the Americans but everytime America says boo, Canada jumps.

I went out the other day and scoped about five lizards.

Four black, one latin and I can't even be bothered to fcuking close them.

What is that saying?

Moma,
Toronto is NOT reflective of the rest of the Canada. AB people and lizards are way cooler than stuck up bitches in TO. Plus, the US is not such a big move up from Canada, Id' go as far as saying it's even more f-ed up in a lot of ways...I'm just as sick of you of TO and can't wait to get the hell out of this shit hole and AB is the best bet to finance that move IMO.
