Hey everyone,
My partner and I are from the Midwest getting married soon this fall and planning to move to San Diego right after. The only issue is we both need to wait on our dental licenses, which should take about 2 months after our wedding before we can officially start working.We’re trying to figure out the best living situation during that gap and wanted some advice from people who’ve done something similar.
Right now we’re considering a few options:
Get a short-term lease in our current area for 6 months, then fully move to San Diego once everything is cleared and stable.
Move to San Diego right after the wedding and stay in an Airbnb for ~2 months while we wait for our licenses, then find a long-term apartment once we’re settled.
Has anyone been in a similar situation moving right after school or licensing delays? What would you recommend—staying local short-term first or going straight to San Diego with temporary housing?
