Hi all! My wife and I are considering a move to the Seattle area (to slowly start preparing for FI as Pacific Northwest homesteaders) and I'm hoping my business/finance experience would fit well in roles at University of Washington or Nintendo of America. I know those are very specific employers and there are plenty of other great opportunities out there, but we currently have stable jobs and a comfortable lifestyle already, so are reluctant to make such a big move without a really appealing job opportunity for one of us. In a way, thanks to a few years of Mustachian values, we're at a place where we can afford to be selective about our opportunities.
I've applied to both employers through the regular online app process, but I'd love to connect with any fellow Mustachians who work at U-Washington or Nintendo currently - or those who know folks who work there. Just looking for insight on the work cultures before I go all-in with the application/interview process.
Moving would be a big shift for us, since we're already well on our way to FI in our current lifestyle, but the culture and environs of the Pacific Northwest really resonate with us and we want to focus on settling in there for a few years before transitioning to a homestead FI lifestyle. Timing is flexible, but we're definitely becoming eager for our next chapter.
Thanks in advance for your insight!
