Hello,
I came from Long Beach Washington, I was looking for a new job... I moved in with my sister and slept in her spare room and on the couch. I Have to say if I had to do it all over again I would not have come, but stuck it out and tried to find a job doing almost anything to stay next to the water, I miss the water and the cool days. It's so hot here in comparison

i moved here after accepting a job offer a little over a year ago. I have since been laid off. Honestly, if I had it to do over, I would not have moved here. it's a beautiful city, but really not that friendly and there are no jobs.

I came to Portland in 92 for work, I recently laid off. Not much opportunities here due to a business unfriendly environment and gross incompetence of our political leaders. We are getting a lot of young hipster want to suck in the cool culture but find out there no jobs. Go elsewhere.

I moved from San Diego almost 4 months ago. My fiance is originally from Portland and has always wanted to move back. I am originally from New England but coincidentally my family relocated here several years ago. We were planning to move up next summer and already in the process of buying a house (to rent out over the next year) when he was offered a transfer within his company. It all just seemed to make sense at the time but I totally regret it now. I wasn't happy with my old job but the phrase "at least I have a job" now means so much more. We should have waited.
