Is the new job in a different department and with more pay? Either way, the fact that he is once again gainfully employed is excellent news.
I think it’s roughly the same pay but in a different position. He said he could have moved, but they didn’t offer what he thought was enough to justify that.
I guess he can start looking for his own apartment again. He might want to get outside the Charlotte city limits, though, since “defunding the police” seems to be catching on there. Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville have their own police forces.
