Moving to another city is often stressful, even for those people who are accustomed to a change of environment. At first, in an unfamiliar place, you may not like a lot - the climate, the lack of familiar infrastructure, the inability to often meet with relatives and friends, etc. To avoid depression, you need to prepare well for the move.
Decide to move - what you need to do in advance
To decide to move, you need to find out as much as possible in advance about the new place of residence. It is worth asking how things are with medical care, public transport, schools, kindergartens. How much the profession you own is in demand, is there a need for local companies for such employees. It is also better to monitor the prices of utilities in advance. Answers to all your questions can be found remotely by talking with residents of the city of interest on the Internet. The easiest option is to find a group on social networks. In such communities, city problems are usually discussed, they have real users who can tell a lot about their locality.
Another option to learn more about the city is to come there on time. Settle in a rented apartment and independently explore everything that interests you. This option has many advantages. Living in an apartment, you can understand the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen area. And when you move, everything is important. Is there the necessary infrastructure within walking distance, how convenient is it to get to the city center, is there a construction site or a noisy highway nearby. It is better to find out all this in advance, so that, when moving to the city for a long time, immediately settle in the most comfortable place.
It is also better to take care of the new place of work before moving. Send your resume to all suitable companies in advance, go for interviews. If the new place of residence is located far from the previous one, you can schedule several interviews for the same day. Then you don't have to cover a long distance many times.
What will help you decide to move
The preparation done in advance will help you decide on the move sooner. There will be confidence that in the new place there will be where to live and how to make money. Perhaps, during communication on the forums, even new acquaintances will appear with whom you can meet, go to the cinema, a fitness club, etc. Of course, old friends and beloved relatives will be far away, but that's okay. You can always call them, chat on Skype, come to visit on vacation.
There are a few more things to consider when deciding to move. First, a clear confidence that the new place will be better and more comfortable. And it can be provided with preliminary preparation. Secondly, the financial aspect. Very often people decide to move precisely because salaries are more attractive in a new place. Thirdly, a new city means new impressions, emotions, sensations. This is an experiment that will help make life brighter and more fulfilling.
