Twice and I don't recommend it
I had enough money saved up and found a room to rent out on Craigslist in both places, and ended up finding jobs in both places, but its better to have something lined up and your own place to live
Moved to Jacksonville in 2011 after graduating because 3 companies out there I was trying to get onto and thought moving there would increase my chances. Had about $5,000 in savings. Lasted a couple months, rented out an apartment from a guy finishing his lease. But I didn't get hired, and moved back to Texas to regroup.
Moved to Las Vegas in 2012. Different story here - I worked for a company and wanted to transfer to their Las Vegas branch. But they had no openings but said they only hire Las Vegas locals and not from outside. So I moved there, again with about $5,000, and did the same thing I did in Jacksonville: rented out a room in a house. It was fun, and I ended up getting hired on at the branch there, but eventually found out how much I hated the job and there are just too many distractions in Las Vegas. Lasted about a year there. I love the city and want to return one day, but when I return I want to be doing a job I like and not hate.
