Share your first experience of going to another city to join a job

When we are doing a job in our own city and we live in our house with parents and our family then we get all sort of comforts as there are people in the house to take care of various things required in the household and also taking care of us.
The problem comes when we get transferred or change the job and go to another city leaving the family members back. Now, till we shift our family members to the new place we are on our own and manage everything.
Have you ever left your city and went to another place to join a new job? What were your experiences? Share your first time experience of such a change in your life?

I did my studies in Visakhapatnam where I was living with my younger brothers and sisters and taking care of the family. My aunt ( Mother's sister) was also with us for her PhD. After staying there for 10 years, I moved to another job in Hindupur a town those days in the Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh. I and my wife were shifted there. My mother-in-law came and stayed for a few days with us. Those days there were no proper transportation facilities from the Coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh to Anantapur. We had to go to Vijayawada and catch a bus there to go to Hindupur. The duration of the journey was about 18 hours.
But the Managing Director of the Company which I joined was a very nice gentleman and his family also used to respect us a lot. We used to get excellent support from them and we never faced any problem there. I worked in that company for about 2 years six months and then shifted to Hyderabad. In Hyderabad, I had no problems as many of my relatives were there already by the time I moved to Hyderabad.
As such I have no experience of going alone to a new place to join a new job leaving our family. I went along with my family all the time to join in a new job.

I do not have any such experience because whatever job I did for some little time that was from my house. But my father had to go for a job to another town for 2-3 years and we all remained in our place because of the joint family and taking care of the parental house. My father was the only earning member in our big family at that time and we assisted our mother in household jobs as we could not afford any servant for it.
My mother did not allow my father to do any household work and we all also made his life as comfortable as we could.
But when he went to another town and came back during a short leave then he narrated us his experience in new place and told us as how he was managing by living in a rented room and by self cooking and doing other jobs himself. We were all surprised and even applauded him for managing alone there.
He also told us with pride as how he was able to manage his expenditures to a bare minimum saving a major part of his salary for us. That was quite motivating for us and also inculcated in us a habit of spending judiciously.

Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

I have been teaching in the same school for the last 30 years. So, I have not changed the city for a job. But I feel it is very difficult to change the place of working. Your family also suffer. You have to adjust yourselves according to new surroundings.

I am planning to change the city of my job within a couple of years.

Honesty is the best policy.

I had been a student of St. Xavier's College Ranchi where I learnt numerous things to improve my quality of life with the adherence to discipline. At least, the authorities of the academy were more conscious of making the aspirants a more sensible and respectable citizen with the inclusion of human - touch in themselves. Very often, we attended the lecture - session of fathers to hear their sermon. So far life seemed to more rewarding and purposeful.
Once my studies for B.Sc was over in 1970, I was interested to have a job matching my qualification. Luckily, I qualified the written test of the Senior Operative Trainee of Bokaro Steel Plant and the result of the same was published in March 1971. This was a relaxing moment for me but the management delayed for the oral interview to the extent of six months. We even lost our hope of ultimate engagement in the said plant. Life in Bokaro was more stressful with my limited resources. I took a couple of tuitions to manage my expenses.
Then I moved to the colliery Dhanbad in October 1971 to work as Hard Coke Supervisor in Godhur Colliery near to Dhanbad where I learnt how hard it is to pull on life with over working having no fixed time for lunch and breakfast.
Finally I was selected in the oral interview of the Senior Operative Trainee and was sent to Rourkela Steel Plant for extensive training for a year. This period was a mixed phase providing a variety of experience of real life.

Let me also share my experience in this regard. After doing my PG, I left for a town where I had to teach Physics to the students in a college. I got a warm welcome as the post of Physics teacher was vacant for quite some time. There were some extra rooms in the college hostel where some teachers were living and I was also allotted a room there. Hostel was near the college and some hotels were available nearby where we could go to take food.
Life was easy and I had some free time also which I utilised for applying for a better job elsewhere and after 3 years in that college I left that job and got opportunity to work in an oil company.

Knowledge is power.

I live in Delhi with my family and did my engineering from Aurangabad, Maharashtra. It was a tough day when my father left me there in the hostel. It was equally tough for him too as he told he cried whole night while returning home. It took me sometime to adjust with others as I had never stayed anywhere without my parents.

Then after my B.Tech I got a job in Bhiwadi. It was a small city and was boring for me to stay alone at the rented home alone after the job. Then I made a friend with whom I shared home.

I don't like eating in hotels or dhabas and that is how I learned how to cook.
