Relocation is a tough decision to make. If your entire social network lives in one state or city, leaving in search of an opportunity that may or may not serve you in the long run can feel hazardous. While that's true, sometimes you get an offer you can't refuse and choose to uproot your life, thinking you will at least work at this company for a year. TikToker @theritzyrie made that decision a few months ago when she accepted a job with Paramount, relocating from Michigan to New York City. If you've been following entertainment or financial news, you know that Paramount laid off 800 employees on the Tuesday following the Super Bowl. She was one of that 800. Getting fired is upsetting enough, but imagine getting fired after leaving all of your friends and family and only working at the company for three short months…I would not be pleased.
