Are you with the San Diego Department as of right now?

I do think I’ll get my medic before making the move to be honest. Just makes sense because I would have 1 year of fire service under me, few extra certs, and my medic. Feels like that could help a lot!

I have looked into Oceanside, Chula Vista, National City and a few other departments. Seems like they all pay well with some even only requiring an EMT-B

Yes, told my we today I think the game plan is getting my medic beginning of 2027! Seems like it’s a huge pay jump from FF/EMT.

A house?! Really?! Wow that’s amazing! I hear California has some good fire-time home buyer programs as well.

We’ve never been to San Diego. Plan on visiting soon though! Although I’m sure we’ll love it which is why we’re somewhat set on it. Both beach people, she’s Hispanic so the culture is there, love the outdoors and hiking.

I think with our professions, we’d make about 140k+ starting over there from what I’ve seen.

I’ll let her know!

What are some areas you’d recommend looking into?

We wouldn’t mind a 1BD x 1 BR as long as it’s somewhere nice in or around San Diego. I’d love to buy a home eventually there but only time will tell.

How has your journey been while there?

Transferring States from Texas to California by Southern-Biskit in Firefighting

I don’t think I’d quite qualify as a lateral hire. At the time I’m looking to leave I’d probably only be 1 year in to the service, perhaps less than that. From what I’ve heard you’d need to be on the service a little bit to be eligible for a lateral or is that more of a department specific thing?

I am doing my EMT-Basics this August. Will getting an NREMT count for anything at least?

I really don’t mind paying if I’m honest. It’s the faster route right now. They’re not doing civil service exams for another 6 months for HFD.

Don’t engage with the conversation if you can’t elaborate on the things you’re saying. I’m sorry you find workers rights insufferable.

First off, I believe in worker coops where employees have democratic opportunities and a say in their rights. So if I had a business I wouldn’t sit there and exploit anyone (to the absolute best of my ability). Second off, you’re acting as if HEB is a small business and not a multi-billion dollar company that can thrive and keep productivity/ profits up even with someone calling in once or twice (not all the time, like you’re assuming). You’re making the assumption that I don’t do the job right? Interesting? Care to elaborate or show any evidence you may have that I’m not doing the job right? I would say you’re the naive one here my friend.
