Hello fellow lemmy's , A bit of back story. I'm currently stuck with a decision and don't know what way to take it , I've moved back to my home city a month ago to be close to family and friends after a 3 year relationship ended, now that I've settled in I'm starting to regret the choice in moving , my job is based back where I moved from and friends have offered me place to stay until I get on my feet.

There is a lot I miss about where I lived and finding it difficult to see a future here, would you guys stay and ride out the feeling or go with your gut ?

Agree with the many others here, you have a secured income source and a secured place of residence at the very least a temporary source of residence. You want to be where you can still be earning money and the worst case scenario is if it ends up changing later on down the road you can probably go back to your hometown again cuz I expect that it the offer will stay on the table, that being said it sounds like you also have your friends in that area so in my mind that's a no-brainer and I likely wouldn't have wasted money moving. But I'm also not super family-oriented so I can definitely understand wanting to live near family

Ultimately I am the same way, I want to be able to stay in my hometown but I know realistically that I'm not going to be able to progress my career here, it's too much of a tech dead zone, make sure to go where you're able to get money, money can't always flow everywhere
