I just recently got laid off, and the industry I work in doesn’t have a huge presence in my city so I was pretty bummed. I was expecting a long, difficult hunt for a new job (I have zero interest in moving).

But boom, first job I applied for, I got. It’s located in the next province over, but it’s full remote. Cost of living is way cheaper here so I got a big raise and my new employers are probably still chuckling about how cheap I am. A win for everyone.
