Finances

Jul 06, 2007 03:46

So I can't sleep and need to do laundry so I figured I would do something useful while waiting. I started going over my finances and goals for if/when I move back to Atlanta to see how feasible it is in the near term. A lot of this post is a note to myself so that I can look back later and see how well I'm doing ( Read more... )

Have you considered interviewing for an atlanta job and seeing if you can find something that will pay for moving expenses, or at least give you a signing bonus? You might have some overhead from traveling for interviews, but it could be worth it...

Not to mention, many times they will cover the expenses for the interviews, too.

As I said to Lisa, it's the bigger companies that tend to do that kind of stuff. I *certainly* don't want to work for another large company. Hell I was ecstatic today that I was able to schedule a meeting next week in the building that I work in! I haven't been able to do that in months!

Granted I don't really want to have this meeting. It's a code review for one of my projects which that idea, in itself, is fine but they are just going to nitpick the crap out of every little thing. (That's the wrong hungarian notation here, this variable name is too long, this (fully spelled out) variable name doesn't have hungarian notation, you need to reverse this if statement (ie if (x == NULL) becomes if (NULL == x)))....gyaaaah

I might be able to get you one with my company, Ciena... They were on a hiring spree a few months ago.

I'll reply to this post then :p It's generally the bigger companies that will pay for moving expenses. I'm going to actually try to get a signing bonus instead of moving expenses since then I can put my roth ira and moving expenses on my standard deduction. I'll take what I can get though.
