Work Unhappy or Move On?
dunnowhat2type asks: "I grew up around a big city (suburbs of NY) and went to college in a relatively different area (upstate NY). After graduating last May, I took a job in the area where I went to college. I started in July, and was given a relocation package contingent on me staying for a year. Since August, I haven't been happy with the area I have been living in and have actively been pursuing employment back in the city. What am I better off doing: Is it better to be miserable with money, work experience, and health insurance; or going home and being happy, but unemployed?"
In January, the program I was working on got cancelled and my manager didn't want to commit me to something long-term, with the knowledge that I didn't plan on staying more than six months. He made me a time-based offer (probably expiring soon) that he'd take every effort to get the relocation payback waived if I were to resign, find an internal transfer, or another job. I had a couple of interviews a month ago, but nothing else has happened, and this uncertainty (with the pressure of having to make this decision) has made the last two weeks really hellish."
There's only one city that's "the city." If you don't know what it is, maybe your reading comprehension skills can kick in and you can figure it out from context.
I'll give you a hint: it's really fuckin big.
Slashdot - where whining about luck is the new way to make the world you want.
Yeah but to be fair when you are in Minas Tirith the Orc invasions can be a bit tiresome so the poster has a point.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
New York City without a job?
That doesn't sound so bad. After all, how much can it cost to live there?
Find a $50 / month apartment (probably have to settle for a single bedroom at that price) across the street from Central Park and have a great time.
