Is it worth moving from Austin? Considering Chicago
Hey there, I’m 26 and was born in Austin TX and have lived there pretty much my whole life. Lately I’ve felt a bit restless and tired of the heat and scenery. I was considering a move in particular to Chicago for work opportunities. I have a degree in PR but I’ve struggled to find any long term work. I’ve seen more agency positions in Chicago in New York but haven’t had luck securing anything there either. So I feel a bit stuck in place right now.
I don’t really have any close friends here but I am close with my family. Despite that I wonder if a move away from family might be good to build independence and feel more like my own person?
So I guess I’m asking for unbiased opinions on if a change of scenery would be a good idea. Will the job opportunities be more plentiful? Is the social scene different? Better?
Thanks!
