Well i have been working for a civil engineering firm in Albany Georgia for the last year. I had to buy a house down here in Lee County due to no places to rent. Since i have been here, my pay has been about 5 to 6 thousand less than what i was told i would be making after 6 months. I also have my first child due in August so money is a concern of mine.
I just applied for a Job with URS in Atlanta due to a friend who works for them told me to apply and see what happens. Well they just called me and want me to interview for the job and want me to start in the next month or so if they offer me the job. I was not expecting to start that fast. The money would be anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 a year more than i am making now with great benefits.
The problem is that i have a house down here and even with the new pay, i would not be able to afford to have a mortgage and rent on a house. Houses in lee county sell relatively fast (3-5 months) but i would be forced to pay double rent during that time. I will also end up loosing about 3 or 4 thousand due to realtor cost plus what i payed for a down payment. I have about 10 grand in savings so i could afford to pay the 3 or 4 thousand out of pocket plus a few months double rent but i also have a 10,000 doctor bill that i will have to pay because i am going to go over my maternity max on my insurance.
So what would GAtrailriders do if they were in my situation.
