I reached out to a company from a Who's Hiring post and got hired. Great job, got to move with relocation.
I got like a ton of stuff in my home... I guess I could trash my furniture and buy new one, but what about my other things?
Does relocation include transportation for that too?
`Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer?` is also interesting.
My current "steady" (albeit less than 100% of my time) client found me through that thread several years ago.

Certainly not in the companion animal business unless you own your job. And to own your job you need more experience than the university can give you and also lots more money.

I would bike to work. It's a nice 12km. But I think it would significantly shorten my life expectancy.
Statistically, it's the other way around.
I happily biked for years in London (considered a dangerous cycling city).
I gave up in fear of my life in Fiji (tiny and sparsely populated).
I wouldn't even consider it in Dublin (which has a lot of cycle lanes).
