Earlier in the month I posted about how I got a job offer for Software engineering and that the training was in Indianapolis but I was too scared of the move to take it. I never got on a plane before and never lived away from my home in NYC.

Right now my hotel and plane tickets have been booked by the company so all I have to do is pack my stuff and go. The training is for two months. Then one I get my project it we'll probably be located in Connecticut but I'm not 100% sure

My hotel accommodations were just confirmed tonight so I guess I'm going to just take the lead of faith and go out there. They're going to pay during training and it is $57,000 a year salary. Or $27.4 an hour. With a 2000 sign on bonus the first paycheck and 2000 after the first 6 months of working.

I also posted how I was in like $10,000 debt earlier this month so that's actually going to hello towards that lol

I'm still of scared though and in my heart I don't want to go but fuck it in just going to do it since everything is payed for. I know I'm going to be lonely though wish me luck tho and thanks CE for the advice

I think I remember this, but maybe it was someone else.

Cool. You'll save a lot of money and live a much more peaceful lifestyle.

Hope you're not a liberal, or even remotely close.
How Indiana became the bastion of evangelical conservatives is anyone's guess.

It's the midwest-ish. 57K in Indiana is roughly the same as 150K in the northeast or west coast.

I don't subscribe to being any political side but people probably would describe me as liberal

Uh no, its not that extreme

57k in Indianapolis is a fine salary. Not bad by any means but not fantastic. Of course, Indianapolis is a decently growing city these days so other doors will likely open in the future

I live in the south and make more than that with my bull **** dead end finance job. Op is getting ripped off plus Indiana is probably one of the bottom 5 worst states.

Congrats on the new opportunity!

It will be a cultural change, for sure, but that doesn't mean it will be bad. I've lived in Silicon Valley, San Diego, the East Bay (across from San Francisco), Michigan, NYC, and a few other places. You make do with what you get. And you're moving from a city to a city; it's not as if you've decided to ditch city life to take up farming.

Good luck! You may find that you love it there. If not, it's only a job. You'll get another one if you decide to move again.

ETA: Wait, everyone was commenting on Indy and I missed that you think you'll end up in CT. That's not so far from NYC, and CT is a beautiful state. You'll do great.

For that kind of opportunity I'd even consider moving countries, depending on which one it was moving to. I'd probably turn it down if I had to learn a new language, though I'd be willing to accept simply having to get better at an existing second language.

Though I would turn it down if the country I had to move to was the US.

Indianapolis is super liberal.

That's kinda reassuring, I guess. I dunno.
