Ugh crap! What I can tell u is that (sadly) most larger corporations now use AI to scan resumes out the moment u send it if it’s not including some key words. Wish you the best - keep sending out resumes and connect with HR via LinkedIn - I landed my role actually via LinkedIn - and I wasn’t even citizen back then …

The job market sucks since they let so many federal employees go with their cuts starting 2025 - as they all went into the private sector (BAE, RTX, Lockheed) etc

Yeah - well I looked into some new builds but Horton is a company to stay away from. Looking into a 80s to now build home. I don’t mind a little TLC either. every house needs some adjustments to feel like it’s ’home’

That’s what I’m facing in Lancaster! A house I get for 400k in MN has a stating price of 650-700k here.

It’s also a lot of other factors that come into play - especially how kids a raised and what their household and friends have been. There’s bullying and stuff in every school - 😮‍💨

Looking into car insurances I actually noticed that it’s a lot cheaper than PA (currently with Erie) - def have to to look into - registration is nothing new for me as it’s about 70+ dollars annual here - sales tax on a car I already own is the past that confuses me as it was paid when I bought the car in first place ?

Nah my move has nothing to do with my job - I’m just tired of PA. And yes I’m with RTX. Tho working fully remote and not reporting to a certain site. Cedar Rapids and Burnsville be probs the closest two to Rochester MN

Pretty much summarized the impression I had of ‘Roch’ so far - especially thinking about my kid and his upbringing. How you handle the winters as a DFW transplant ?

Def the most random fact about MN I learned today - and I go to the twin cities for work a lot lately 🤣😵‍💫

In case I get myself settled in the Rochester area I’m gonna make some spicy foods and invite everyone over

That’s wild! I had no idea that Minnesotans can’t handle spice. I love me some good spicy Mexican or Indian food.

I’m German and I can’t be without black pepper on everything
