16M, should I move to Karachi for a software house job?

I am 16, in 12th grade, living in Nawabshah. I do full-stack web dev and have some real project/client experience

I’m thinking of moving to Karachi within 1 - 2 months, after securing a software house job. I would probably rent a place with my cousin

Main reason isn’t just career. I honestly feel stuck here. I want more privacy, control over my time, better work environment, and more independence

But the issue is the job will probably be average-paying, so I might end up living paycheck to paycheck. I also know if I move, I won’t want to come back unless things get really bad

Do you think moving is a good risk, or should I stay home longer, build more skills and income/savings, and move later?
