Move to Raleigh/Charlotte NC

Post date: 2018-09-13 06:29:26

Attempting to move to new city to be closer to family. Was looking into Raleigh/Durham or Charlotte. I am a UX designer with 4 years experience and have had a few out of state phone interviews but no bites so far, which I believe are due to being out of state.

If we moved to say, Raleigh and I got in touch with a temp agency, I am thinking I could get something quickly that would at least establish myself and family in the city.

What are your thoughts on how risky this is? My wife is really adamant I get a job first, but I am of the opinion that I could get something in the first month or so of moving to town. I have been trying for about 3 months to get a gig there but have only applied to about 10-12 positions.

Has the job market improved enough to where just moving somewhere somewhat blindly if necessary could work and get settled in? Seems there are tons of applicants for every job and thus not being local is a huge strike against me.
