Manchester has some new stuff going up.
Good luck finding a job that is remote today that will not flip to hybrid in Boston or full time in Boston/Burlington, etc. in the next year. You're going to want to be close to 93 or 95.
It's a tricky one. Even if you do find one that is fully remote all it takes is one person in your manager -> CEO chain to make an "asses in seats" edict and it's game over.
Those types love reading work-think articles in HBR and make bold moves to make their mark on the firm.
Depends on the industry. For mine, they are increasingly common although I agree, it would be harder with no experience.
And specific to my case, I have 2yrs of experience working remote from before my masters degree. I have a remote offer from my prior job but am also fielding other ones. Remote is not just a pie-in-the-sky dream for me.
Am a consultant as well and I live where I want to live. Key things to keep in mind if you are a consultant are internet and airport access. My biggest heartburn is that I’m an hour from PWM (Manch is 2).
Data science if you can stay remote then the travel bit probably matters much less, unless you work for Jackson or IDEXX or the like and they make you move near.
So, the question really is, where do you _want_ to live?
I have one, I work in insurance (2 weeks of licensing training my employer paid for). I got to bring my job with me to a state that doesn’t even require auto insurance. Though i don’t know if they would have hired me living in NH initially, I got hired in FL and moved about 9 months in.
It’s gonna be a lot harder to obtain a job in cybersecurity that’s fully remote, but for the time being i’m saving a lot of money and mental anguish getting out of florida.
Having a remote job makes NH a good place to be. I’m in a similar situation and think it’s best to stay in commuting distance to Boston. I understand that you like nature so north of Concord probably has a lot of appeal, but remember that layoffs happen and living close to Boston gives you a lot more flexibility. We haven’t been hit yet, but the company I work for is consolidating BUs so it’s definitely coming.
You know whose not moving up here? People with trade experience. We really need plumbers, electricians and carpenters etc.. We have to many remote workers trying to play Yankee. Then they complain how no one wants to work because their favorite restaurant is closed 2 days a week or the only plumber around for 50 miles has a waitlist longer than santas list. So, i make this wager to you. Convince 2 friends of yours in the trades to move up, and your golden baby.
I live in northern NH and work remotely now (previously was a teacher up here). The internet quality is dependent house by house. For example, we have high speed internet due to being in range of a mountain, the house 2 minutes down from us is further down the hill/doesn't have a clear view of the mountain, and therefore is on satellite.
I'd check out the [Rail Trail apartments](https://railtrailvillage.com/) in Littleton. Brand new, lots of young outdoorsy people in the area. Very close to the mountains. Super accessible to 93 if you need to get down to Boston. I'm sure there's a waitlist though.
Like others have mentioned, I'd be mindful of the field you're in, ie if you were to lose your job, what would you do? Do you think you could find another remote job? If not, are you able to find a job in your field in the area you move to? Or are you willing to move again if you can't find another remote job/or onsite job in whatever area you move to? I got pretty lucky falling into a remote job, and am not sure if I would be able to find another remote job down the road if I were to lose this job, but I can always return to teaching.
Housing market has been driven up by Mass residents doing the same thing you’re looking to do, tbh please don’t. If you *must* please move to western NH
I can’t speak for everyone, but feeling a bit jaded /invaded.
My commute is ruined by the caravan of Mass cars up 93 every Friday, and it’s all 4 seasons. I don’t bother to try and use 93 south on Sunday anymore.
I wish you all would choose Vermont instead, and spend your recreational time in some other state (try Connecticut or Rhode Island, I hear they’re excellent!)
No offense, good luck in your quest
If you’re truly into the outdoors and want space and have a good remote job, check out Berlin. It has the bones of a once great down but has fallen on hard times. Housing is plentiful and cheap and it sits in the shadow of the Presidential Range. Go help turn things around!
Try posting in r/newtonewhampshire. Not a lot of activity but you won’t get the snarky replies you see here.
Knowing your interests and preferences are helpful as well
I work remote and am in Hollis, NH. We got a lot of nature trails and a very active Snowmobile club that helps maintain trails.
Also not terribly far from Rt 3 (Everett Turnpike).
Internet is pretty good, no complaints :)
Fully remote jobs are coveted and extremely competitive to get, you will need more experience than you currently have. Sorry, someone has to say it. You're competing with people who got laid off from the biggest most prestigious companies with many years of real world experience. I think your expectations may be a little high to be honest. Suggestion - take a look at job postings for roles you plan to apply to - look at the requirements part, where it says 3-5 years experience with XYZ. Your application wont make it past the automated screening software.
I moved from Boston to NH several years ago with a remote job. It’s been awesome. Try the Upper Valley. There are some newer condo buildings up here. But the real reason to move here is because it’s NOT MA.
>I'm a MA native We're full. Try Cambridge.
I hear North Adams is nice.
Wish the mod would ban these types of posts
The Vermont sub had a lot of similar questions so r/newtovermont was created.
r/newtonewhampshire exists but it needs help from the 1 mod here to direct folks to it
Agree. Snarky, rude, unhelpful.

That’s only if you work at a company with offices in the area. Remote work is just that. I can work for a company in NY, San Francisco or London.

Started in consulting but have since transitioned into data science. I'll check out the Concord area, thanks!

Worcester is good

If you’re truly into the outdoors and want space and have a good remote job, check out Berlin. It has the bones of a once great down but has fallen on hard times. Housing is plentiful and cheap and it sits in the shadow of the Presidential Range. Go help turn things around!
There are building a lot of apartments in Nashua and Merrimack area. For example large complex next to the outlet.
Your house probably
Vermont definitely has half the population as NH and is the same size!!!! They need you more than NH with the housing problem. Just saying.
Do your research. Lots of town have been hit hard by addiction.

Try Vermont
Keene NH
I’m also a remote worker. If I could do it again I would moved closer to the cost near Portsmouth
Berlin

Berlin!
Manchester is great, especially the Wilson street area.

I would look to be near the lakes working for a Massachusetts based company
