Seeking advice on getting hired in a new market (relocation)
Hello all,

I'm currently a senior Economics student seeking a role as an entry-level production support analyst after graduation. I had an internship last summer in investment sales with a mid-size national firm, and I am licensed in the state I want to move to after graduation, so I've got the basics covered. I'm pretty friendly and professional and things generally go well as soon as I'm able to get myself in the same room as a managing director, but I'm having a hard time really connecting with people because I'm so far away.

So I guess my question is: have any of you tried to get hired out-of-state? Were you successful? If so, what were your most useful networking tools throughout the process?
[{"id": "cq62t0q", "text": "Frankly, getting hired in any major market is the easy part. The hard part is sticking it out long enough and doing well enough to make a career of it. You should be interviewing a prospective employer as much as they are interviewing you. At your career stage, ignore salary and pretty much everything else except for the quality of the mentor(s) you will be working with and how much you will be able to learn. Note that someone who is superbly successful in real estate may still not be a good mentor if they are too busy to teach you anything. Good luck! ", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
