If you have lived in one place for an extended period of time, you may be ready for a change in scenery. However, moving far away from where you currently live can be a bit scary and time-consuming. The guide that follows provides you with a few tips to use to make relocating to a new and exciting place more enjoyable and less overwhelming.
Do Research Before You Move
Before picking up and moving across the country, it is best to take the time to do some research for any of the places that you are considering. You want to be sure to find out what the cost of living is in the area where you plan to move. You do not want to move to any area that has a high cost of living if you do not make a lot of money each year.
You also need to research the job opportunities that are available in the place where you plan to relocate. If you have a degree in a very specific field, you need to be sure that there are ample employment opportunities in the area where you plan to move before you actually make the move. Moving to an area with limited job opportunities can make life more difficult and create a stressful environment for you.
Hire a Moving Company to Make the Move Easier
When you decide where you want to move to, you need to hire a long distance moving company to help you with the move. The company will have skilled workers who can pack everything for you so that you can rest assured that snortrescue.org/online-strattera nothing will be damaged as you travel to your new home. The movers will also be able to pack the moving truck and drive it to your new destination while taking the most direct route possible. This ensures that your items get to your new home in a timely manner.
Pad Your Savings Account Prior to Moving
Moving can be quite costly and it can often take you quite a lot of time to find a new job when you first move to the new area. Taking the time to pad your bank account before you move will ensure that you have a nest egg to rely on until you find a new job. If you do not have any money saved when you move, you will feel rushed to accept any job that is offered to you, regardless of how happy it will make you to work there. It is best to make sure that you have enough money saved to pay your bills for a few months without any problems before moving.
Taking your time to properly prepare before a move will ensure that things go as smoothly as possible. The experience should be exciting and proper preparation will make it less stressful and help you to have more peace of mind that you are doing the right thing. There are many times when starting fresh and doing something that is new to you can open up new doors in life and help you to be able to reach your goals in a timelier fashion. Do your research, don’t be afraid to hire help, and save your money if you want to be able to have a great start after moving to a new location.
Being mobile is a massive advantage for young people. Once you start to have a family being mobile becomes way more difficult (or near impossible). Being able to take a job opportunity across the country (or in another country) will greatly increase your pool of potential opportunities. That usually means faster career progression and higher pay.

I totally agree and harp that at any young stage manager. The quickest way to get ahead in this business is to commit to the idea that for at least the first 5 years, you’ll go anywhere the job is – as long at they pay the relocation. Almost all the folks I know working in theater now in our late 20s and 30s, even if we’re happily settled somewhere, started out that way.
Great points, especially your comment above about people in theater going where the work is. BTW, some of the best stage managers I knew were women but the field was still mostly men. Is that still the case?
We were lucky when we moved to NC from NY that I was able to keep my NY job. Still it’s weird moving away from family and friends but only at the beginning.

I think Stage Management is actually 50/50 but other than Wardrobe, it’s about the only backstage occupation where women are even remotely equally represented.
