Suggestions please....

[Sukumar111]

Got laid off from my current company in chicago, been working more than a decade as a .NET lead here, so they offered 2 options

• Take the severance of 20 weeks and leave (end date : end of Dec)
• Accept the transfer/relocate to Massachussetts with similar pay and similar job (same company, so no need for new H1B)

Biggest problem  H1B thoney, current job market ela undho theleedhu naaku, not in touch with anyone for personal reasons.

I140 approved undhi, single earner in the family with a 2 year kid 

Dilemma entantey, 

• Risk theesokuni next 60days lo job kottaagalana?
  • 12+ year exp undhi but as dec is holiday/dull period, resume select ayyi, interviews attend ayyi, short list chesi, offer ichi H1 start chesentha time untadha, evaraina experience chesaara?
  • Malli consultancy ki velli irrukkupoyi, vallatho blood suck cheyyinchukovalani ledhu, vere option lekuntey thappa
• Leka safety chusukuni, anni mukusukuni transfer option ki ok cheppi MA vellipovaalaa ani
  • basically chicago lo life alavaatu paddaka MA chuttupakkala chusthuntey nachatam ledhu. cost of living is high, houses are very poor (paath chekka illule ani), 2k ki chicago lo vachey rental house 3k pettina MA lo raavtledhu. Paiga its not a remote job, onsite ravalata.
  • Howz life in MA for an indian family? is 150-180k suffiecient for single family?

please konchem time ketayinchi, em chesthey better ani meeku anipisthundho, me suggestions isthey, it helps me a lot to come to a decision.
Thanks in advance.

uncertain situation vundhi kabatti ..play safe for sometime.. aka.. buy time by moving to MA temporarily and when things get back to normal, do whatever you like to do.  MA lo 100k lo kooda bathakachu 

[Arjun9]

I would pick option 1.. Since 5 months pay vastundhi neeku, so Ippudu Marketing Start chesina you might find job in next few months.. few month out of job unna you are still getting paid kadha

Inni years oka city ki alvaatu padi, No point of moving now..

Also MA nacchaledhu anappudu no point of going and Suffering..

.NET ki Chicago lo jobs baane untaai, just explore/train Azure a bit and add it to Resume and Start Marketing asap.. Koncham pay takkuvaina teesuko for now and change later.

Also .. you can explore C2C jobs too kno.. not all consultancies are blood suckers.. Explore some tella vendors like Ranstad, EY etc

Linkedin, Dice, Indeed etc etc..

aa salary bracket ki you can have good life in boston bro.  Boston is not bad. anni old apartments/houses undav, you'll find newer communities as well, 500-800 ekkuva undochu rent. 

Also chicago and boston ki weather difference emundhi.  chicago antha windy kuda undadhu boston.

who knows next situation inka bad ayithe? thelisinavallu chala mandhi looking for a job. situation maatram tough undhi currently.  

intlo kurchunde badhulu office vellatam better for many reasons bro.

This is a better option. Move to MASS, spend sometime there and mean while look out for jobs in Chicago and move back. I know moving is a pain but not having a job is much more painful. Relocation kabatti mee company vaade relocation expenses istadu kuda…

Its kind of desi friendly state ae…compact state, expensive but considering you do not have school going kids, 150-180k is a better salary in MA

Chicago mida manasu padesukuni vunna udyogam udi few months kaali ga vunte Chicago vachi tindi petti Bills kattadu kada kaka….

[yemdoing]

take the JAAAAAB and relocate.. bayata job market is brutal .

low risk low reward.

[Bulls_Rose]

option 2. bro chicago lo altavu paddav ante. Boston can be adjustable. go for it for now

 

[Mancode]

transfer option 

[ElDiablo]

Take the MA relocation option and start your job search parallelely.

Current market lo skilled developer ki job vastundi but salary is below market level. 

If I were you, I will accept your current transfer option and search and apply for jobs immediately and see how your resume picking and interviews are going. 

Prolong transfer until Jan month, Continue job search, if you get new job with good package, then all good, say  to current employer take severance and jump. Otherwise transfer to new location with old company.

 is 150-180k suffiecient for single family?

[Spartan]

Go to Mass swcond option is better.

Job market is down, H1 antunnav kabatti better to move to MA. 

Kid schooling issue kuda ledu, future lo MA Boston is better choice for kids than Chicago

Snow levels same untai but wind chill takkuva compared to chicago

[reality]

Niku cold snow issue lekapothe Boston is the best place to live in US, IMO. 

[perugu_vada]

Job market is very bad now .. choose safer option for now which is 2nd option 

once job market picks up u can always move back

no jobs outside.. just move to MA...   place is lot better than chicago..

20 weeks severance is nothing.. atleast 1yr iste different story.

this is a no brainer choice.
