        My family safety net is here, so it would honestly take some saving at a different job before Im comfortable starting a life somewhere else.

        But eventually I may have to. In the meantime all I can do is keep applying.

          imo that “safety net” is a bit of a trap. I may be biased by how well this worked for me, but when I left my shithole Southern state I had like $40 and whatever could fit in my crappy car. Couchsurfed and slept in my car for the first few paychecks of the job I got pretty much immediately when I got to California.
