    It’s not about work ethic. It’s an openness to new things, and a willingness to coordinate and plan things.

    And seeing “moving away” as a huge sacrifice, to where you’d tend to describe it as “uprooting your life,” is a particular worldview that you’re entitled to, but one you should be aware that many other people don’t share.

    You’re attributing a lot of unspoken values in that comment that I don’t really think are there, and I suspect it’s because you place a much higher value in staying close to home than the typical person does, and because you seem to elevate the purpose of a career to primarily be maximizing one’s own money.

    So take a step back. Reread that comment with the revisited assumption that some people choose careers for reasons completely different from money, and that people don’t feel a strong need to stay in the same city where they grew up. It’s just career advice at that point.

      Mate, you got so much patience and empathy to be able to respond and explain. Love who you are and who you have become. I absolutely would have walked away from a negative comment and you are so capable to reiterate points to a random internet comment.
