While I've never experienced a similar situation myself, I've had several friends and acquaintances who have had similar issues with tech jobs that required relocation from Canada to the US - from having jobs rescinded last minute after selling their home in Canada, to being downsized due to company cutbacks within days or weeks of starting the new job (after all, new employees are more likely to be let go during those times).
In short, there is always a risk associated with relocation for work, and the job or location must be worth that risk in order to upheave your life and move for it.
- snicky 4y agoDo immigrants do this often? I mean sell their houses, cars and other belongings before moving abroad? It's a sincere question from someone who also considered emigrating for work at some point. I could never imagine getting rid of all my stuff before I actually sit down in the office with my new bosses and co-workers for a couple of months and have a taste of what it is like. I won't be buying any house or a car in the new place right away anyway. I could just rent both before I decide I want to stay there for good. Or am I talking from some sort of a privileged position of a person who has some savings to deal with situations like this ... or maybe I'm too conservative and that's why I never left?
