Relocating for a new job is an exciting opportunity to embrace change, grow your career, and enjoy a fresh lifestyle. With Tyler Wren’s new partnerships across Australia, Ireland and the UK, in both Accounting and Legal, here is a helpful 5-step checklist to make sure relocation is the right move for you:
1. Career Growth Potential
What to Consider: How will this role advance your career? Consider pathways for promotion, development programs, and the exposure you can gain to benefit your career.
Why it Matters: If career growth drives your decision, ensure the move benefits you. We understand the New Zealand market and can translate how your experience ties into a different market. Our partner agencies are on the ground and possess local knowledge, connecting you with the best career paths tailored to your experience. They can advise you on whether a role aligns with your long-term goals and inform you about unique opportunities that might not be obvious.
Pro Tip: Ask your recruiter about specific growth opportunities in this location compared to other markets—they often know which regions are hotspots for your industry.
2. Financial Impact
What to Consider: Research salary expectations, cost of living, and any hidden costs associated with the potential move.
Why it Matters: Understanding the financials of relocating is imperative to ensure long-term stability. With in-depth salary data and partner agencies’ local market knowledge, we’ll ensure you have a complete view of financial expectations in your new location.
Pro Tip: Research the cost of housing, utilities, and transportation in your target location and compare it to your current city.
3. Lifestyle and Work-Life Balance
What to Consider: Does the region offer the lifestyle you’re seeking? Look into things like recreational activities, community culture, and commute times.
Why It Matters: If you are seeking a particular lifestyle, you want to ensure this move achieves this. Gaining insights into specific firms’ benefits and dynamics can be crucial in ensuring you are making the right move!
Pro Tip: We encourage you to spend a weekend in the area if possible, and get a good feel for the area, local hotspots and amenities to see if it feels like “home.”
4. Family and Social Connections
What to Consider: If you’re relocating with family, consider schools, healthcare, and social activities for all age groups. If you’re moving solo, research social opportunities to help you build a new network.
Why It Matters: Being socially integrated makes a big difference in feeling at home and enjoying your new life. If you have family or friends in the area, this can be a huge help in feeling connected to the area much faster!
Pro Tip: Join local community groups or professional networks in the area to connect with people and gain firsthand insights into the community.
5. Support for the Transition
What to Consider: When making a relocation move, it’s important to consider the onboarding programs for new staff and whether relocation assistance is available.
Why It Matters: Moving somewhere new is easier when you have support. A welcoming workplace can smooth the transition and help you get settled faster.
Pro Tip: Working with a recruiter throughout the process is a valuable form of support for the transition! Tyler Wren and our partner agencies are here to guide you through each question, translate your experience to the local market, and provide unique insights and opportunities that are often not available online!
