Should I move out of town because of work

[aznhouston 132]

I'm currently a CS majored student in Houston, and Houston is not a good place for tech job. It's still an oil town. So it's pretty hard to find an entry-level software developer job here.

I am applying to many companies but the majority of them are not in Houston, mostly in Silicon Valley or other tech towns.

My wife needs to stay with her parents here in Houston to take care of them. She has a stable job.

Do you guys think it makes sense if I move after some months after marriage? We met each others the first time in 2013.

I am thinking of moving out of town for work for 1 or 2 years then apply for a more senior position in Houston. I still like this city more than any other city for many reasons.

Would flying back to Houston every other weekends be enough to convince the interviewer?

I don't think that would look good. 

 

Why not look for a remote or telecommuting work?  Lots of tech. people work from home and/or fly to job sites. That way you maintain your residence with your wife.

Most of the remote positions are for senior levels, not entry-level. I am looking for a consulting position where I can be wherever I go, but they don't pay very well. ><

But yes, that is actually my long term goal, working remotely.
