Heading to Washington (state), if all goes well. I have some family there, including the-cutest-niece-ever, who I have yet to meet in person! And the tech job market looks to be far stronger there than it is here.
Still feel like I'm walking off a ledge into the unknown, but it'll be an adventure, for sure!
I did interview for one last job here today. It was a disaster, I think. Usually I'm pretty good at answering questions in interviews and being natural and confident and all, but my goodness! My tongue just wouldn't work right. *sigh* I didn't really want the job anyway since I've pretty much made up my mind to move on, but I'm more of a proud perfectionist than I should be, and that was an ego bruising!
Okay, beware Washington, of course :-) Congrats on your neice!!! Enjoy your meeting!!!!!!! I say that about Washington, but I lived in Portland when Mt. St. Helens erupted. I have been to Washington several times and love it. I just don't know if it is tolerable. I grew up in SB, Calif...I now live in Oklahoma.
Wish you the best, wherever you end up. I did something similar when I was younger--wasn't getting anywhere in my home town, so I woke up one day and decided I'd move to the nearest "big city," completely on faith. Best move I ever made.
Oh dear child, you do know there are liberals there?
Are you an IT person? We need to talk. I have a dear friend who is very experienced in that area, originally out of Seattle, moved to the midwest for the job market. Don't make any big jumps until we talk ok? I know it's rough, hang in there.
Do you have a lot of family? Where are they, VT?
