Job candidate gets job offer that requires him to move states, only the employer refuses to send the contract before he moves: ‘Just come here and get started’

You don't have to be a lawyer to know that a contract is one of the most important concepts humans have come up with. You also don't have to be a historian to know that it is one of the first social concepts humans have come up with. It is a massively important social construct that has allowed communities over the centuries to build and live in peace and so it should not be taken lightly.

When one first starts a job, the very first thing they should be doing after accepting it is to sign a contract, and definitely not make life-changing decisions before that, like moving to the other side of the country, for example.

The person in this Reddit story is considering doing just that, despite endless warnings. He does not care that he didn't get an offer letter from his future employer, or that hundreds of people on Reddit are telling him it might be a scam, OP (original poster) fully intends to uproot his life for a job that might very well not be real.
