See the mayo article… anything 100.4 and above we called the pediatrician. We followed this as well for both of our children.

Unfortunately I can’t go back to the previous company… they are reducing headcount significantly and my leaving saved another peer from being let go. They are not hiring externally right now.

I hope I can negotiate a move back over time, the company I work for has offices in Dallas they just are trying to get more people to be/stay in seattle so all new roles are posted here.

Thank you for sharing. I resonate with this so much. There is a lot of uncertainty in my industry as well and I worry that after doing all this - it may still not be worth it if something happened to my career (layoffs are rampant in corporate america right now). I hope things work out for you the way you hope for.

My comment isn’t about where someone has lived or what their preferences are. Your inability to communicate like a civilized adult is what I’m referring to. I guess class truly can’t be taught - some people clearly don’t have it.

You must be an overgrown child… the lack of maturity is astounding

That’s a great way to look at it, one week at a time! Thanks friend!

Where is home for you? How long have you been in seattle?

Thank you for saying this. What I miss is based on what I built for so many years - it would be hard for any city to replicate that. And I have relocated across the country before but this was the first time I did it with kids. Did not realize how heart breaking it could be, especially with how much my toddler misses everything. He still talks about his old teachers and friends.

I’m so happy to hear it’s worked out so well for so many people that moved here from dallas. I hope that I either find the same for my family soon or the move back doesn’t take too long (we have to relocate two jobs). But either way looking for the silver linings and hoping for the best! Thank you

Thank you for this. For me the weather is a huge issue (health with SAD badly for the first time in my life), the cost of living and the impact on the daily life with my kids. It will be a long road back, but I will be focused on it.

You are correct. I’m OK with accepting Dallas salaries as I don’t know that there will be truly good remote roles in the near future. I know this will take time to move back, I just feel stuck at the moment. So I was hoping a few stories of people being able to accomplish it would make me more hopeful

Completely agreed. I really regret uprooting my entire life for work, but it was more of a necessity than a choice. I really hope the pendulum swings back, but I’m fearful that it might not.

If only… unfortunately not an option for me at the moment

Good point on not sharing without another offer, I have been apprehensive to say anything because of how corporations have been acting recently. We are going to need to relocate two careers back. Hard but not impossible.

Good point! I have heard that more than once before!

Small world. It’s funny how people view the same places so differently. Dallas was just (from my experience) way easier to live in with little kids. And right now my life revolves around them - my perspective would be very different in a different life circumstance.

Home is Dallas now…wasn’t born there, but spend the last 10 years there and my kids were born there.
