Moving to Vancouver, WA after landing a tech role
Hi, everyone! First post on here. Sorry if it's not relevant to this app, but it seems it's free for all for whatever you want to post.
I landed my first tech role on Friday that's fully remote. We have two retreats a year (if COVID restrictions permit), but no home office or anything. This allows me to live wherever I want, and eventually travel once I'm comfortable and worked there a while.
I was offered 55K to start (it's not SWE lol), 60K after 6 months, and 65K after a year. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's the most I've ever made in my life. I also come from a family who struggled financially greatly, so I am so relieved to know I won't have to work multiple jobs anymore just to pay my bills.
I currently live with relatives in Dallas, but my goal has been to move to Vancouver, WA and live on my own again (originally from IN and lost my job which caused me to have to move here).
Does anyone have any advice how to make this move happen? I'm open to any advice about anything involving this not just the move as well. Office electronics suggestions, apt suggestions, financial suggestions, etc.
P.S. my credit is really bad, so I already know that's going to make my move much harder. I'm 29 and had to live with people for entirely too long and I refuse to have roommates at this stage in my life.
Thank you in advance!!
