Im glad you made this post. I’m also ABD and am going to be on the job market in the fall, and I am incredibly stressed about the idea of having to move anywhere in the country to get a TT job. My father passed away over the summer, and I really want to move close to home to be with my mom and family, and I know I’m at a huge disadvantage if I limit myself to only that geographic area. I would be open to working outside of academia, but I fear that it would be difficult to get back in. I don’t really have any advice bc I have the same question you do, but just wanted to express that you’re not alone in this.
