tell them MA is temporary, Philly is your long-term home base so they know you’re not planning to hop states every 3 months

careful tho! some companies quietly reclassify you or cut pay depending on location

HR loves “life change” language, hates “I’m sick of this state” energy

Keep it about logistics they’ll understand: Cost of living, being closer to support network, personal growth, etc.

So apparently I need permission from work to move out of state. Lease is up Oct 31 and I’m temporarily going to Massachusetts before settling permanently in Philly.
I love my job, and I really don’t wanna lose it. I just didn’t think they’d care, esp since we’re remote. But now I’ve got a meeting with HR and I need to explain myself.
Any tips on how to frame it? I don’t want to just say “I’m trying to get out of NC” even tho… that’s kinda it.
