Why would anyone expect a company to pay their rent 😂😂😂😂. This sounds like socialism

That's part of a relocation package. What 10k is a signing bonus. We just moved with a relocation package and part of it was funds for living and relocating... to the tune of 17k. On top of paying the movers and the cost of our realtor fees and flights and rental car.

Glwt 10k was plenty to get me moved pay off my student loans and buy a few things for my apartment. You guys are just being greedy

It's not about being greedy. The average American doesn't have any significant amount of money saved. 10k might seem like a lot, but moving to Seattle, that wouldn't cushion if something happened. Moving without any funds or plan is how people end up homeless in expensive cities.

If you don’t have saving then you are in for a bad time lol and probably shouldn’t move

I agree. But that's why I pointed to op for a starter entry level job with no savings, 10k isn't enough to consider it a full relocation. Sure it might cover part of moving but unless you've got a nest egg or emergency fund, there needs to be a real plan.
