AI Thread Summary
When considering a job in a different region, moving beforehand can be beneficial but is not strictly necessary. The decision largely hinges on personal circumstances and whether relocation aligns with your goals. Living in the area does not inherently increase your chances of success in the job selection process; preparation and research about the new location are crucial. It's important to clarify your specific situation and what kind of advice you seek regarding the move and job prospects.

Before you move anywhere, you should obviously be doing plenty of research to make sure the place is what you think it is etc, but you already know this. What scenario is it you actually want advice with?
