Just move.....Massachusetts is an amazing state. You will love it. Since you are no stranger to cold weather, you will adapt very quick. 

Dont even try option 1. Market is not that great. FAANG gallakee dikku ledhu konni domains lo ayithe....

you compared chicago rental vs Boston...so I'm guessing you dont have ur own house in chicago. So moving ki prob ledhu....ade own house aithe more dilemma. 

If u accept MA and within few weeks lo if u find another job in chicago and quit MA job, is severance offer still holds?

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.

Given how the market, I would choose the safe option. Try MA and then move when the market is good?

I lived in 5 or 6 states, MA is the best in terms of quality of life, not considering cost of living and weather.

Thanks brothers, for taking time and providing your valuable inputs. 

I respect all of your opinioins, as most of you suggested MA seems to be more safer option right now.
I will consider all your inputs and finalize.
Thanks a lot.

take transfer and apply for other jobs . once you get job, show middle finger to employer .. may be for first 60 days , don't move family , just live like single sinthakai and use time to get another job

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. 

boston gets more snow than chicago.

When it comes to finding good suggestions, starting with what you need most or are interested in is always great. For example, if you're into board games or just looking for a fun way to decide things, you should check out online tools for rolling dice. They can be super handy and add a bit of randomness to any decision-making process.

Plus, they're just fun to use! You can roll a dice to make choices, play games, or even use it to choose what movie to watch or where to eat.

Let me know if you need specific suggestions or want to explore more ideas!
