There are three big reasons people find themselves on the move: family, a significant other, or a job. Many of us will relocate for work at least once in our lifetime whether it be out of our parents’ house into the city of our first job or moving later in life for a job change, but it will always present a challenge no matter the circumstance. Here are some things to keep in mind before you make the move for your company.
Financial
Moving can be expensive, particularly if your move is cross-country. Additionally, you may face some costs associated with living in a new area like a higher cost of living or a cost of breaking your lease. Because these costs can quickly add up, it’s important to negotiate your relocation benefits. When moving for a specific company, many will offer compensation to cover the costs of moving, closing costs on a new house, or even a buyout on your current lease so you can move without worrying about finances. Before you accept the job offer in your new city, be sure to negotiate these relocation benefits to your needs.
Do Your Research
One of the most exciting parts about relocating for work is getting to explore a new place! As exciting as it is – unless you’re a big fan of surprises – it will be to your benefit to do a little research on where you’ll be moving to. Will there be good schools for your kids? Or a dog park for your dog? Is the crime rate too high for your liking? Does the new city have at least one restaurant that serves your favorite type of takeout? These are all important things to consider when deciding if switching locations will be a good fit for you.
Make Your Arrangements
Once you’ve decided to take on your new role, it’s time to make arrangements to move. High up on your priority list should be finding the right moving service for you (okay, maybe we’re a bit biased.) But seriously, if you’re moving long-distance, hire a reputable, insured moving company that frequently handles this type of relocation. Shleppers’ moving professionals have been handling both short and long-distance moves for over 40 years, so we’re no stranger to the new job move. The last thing you want is to end up scrambling with lost and damaged items the day you start your new life. We’re here to help.
