Fast forward to now, we have always wanted to relocate out of state and decided 2026 was the year. I applied for a job back in April (it’s now the end of June) and didn’t expect to hear much as it was kind of a stretch goal, in a different state, and a different industry than I currently work. The position had been open for several months because it was a new team they were building and wanted the ‘right candidate’ which was intimidating because I had to be the best of the best, not just the best candidate they were interviewing. After 3 weeks of nothing, I got a phone screening and had about a week to prepare. Through each stage of the process, I listened to tons of your episodes on phone screenings, perfecting my 'tell me about yourself' answer, pep talks when waiting, how to talk about relocation, how to prep for multiple interview rounds, panel interviews, negotiating start date, and the importance of research. I'm proud to say that after a 2.5-month, lengthy, intense job interview process, I received an offer at the very top of the salary range and was able to negotiate my start date to fit the move and a small break.
