I hope they are paying him a lot because the cost of living here is rather high and often times people who move for work get caught off guard. Also your biggest struggle may be actually finding somewhere acceptable to live. I've seen many people accept job offers only to search for housing for months only to have to sacrifice the offer and not move. Also the Rutland area is going to be way not as fun to live in compared to the Chittenden area so there's that too

He’s going down first to stay with his friend who offered him the job and then the family will join a few months after, but luckily I work from home and make almost 6 figures alone.

Oh awesome that sounds like an ideal situation! You and your family will be just fine, IMO, though I am not black though I am a mentor to someone who was born in Kenya who immigrated here as a child. Winooski has the highest population of POC in the state and Winooski school is probably the only school in the state that isn't mostly white. Winooski is quote far from Rutland though and I don't know much about that area.

Thank you!! That helps a lot. It’s been quite the journey to try to map out the best places. Appreciate your help!
