How many of yall have relocated for a position, and how did it work out? Where did you move from/to (if you're willing to disclose). Is it easy to move for a year-a few years then move back with some experience? I graduated in May, considering moving from a Texas city and applying to pretty much every desirable job in any city that I wouldn't mind living in (Denver, NYC, DC, etc). I don't mind moving but think I would like to eventually move back to my home city where all my family is.

Its honestly a pretty tough sell trying to convince an employer to give you a shot when they will need to pay to fly you out for interviews. You may be better off getting some experience in your own city then looking to change cities when you have some experience to leverage.
As someone who was in the same position, its much easier to get interviews for me after 2 years in the field compared to when i was fresh out of school.
Probably true, but I'm currently in discussion for a few positions and two of which are in different cities across the country. One of which is in another city, but just a 4 hour drive away.
Started career in midwest and then got a job in my hometown Texas city. They flew me out to the interviews.
Persistence is the key, and flexibility. Usually takes longer to relocate. I've done it 5 times and usually takes longer than expected. The first was when I moved to NYC from Texas without a job.
Also, keep in mind what specialty you are interested in, as some are more mobile.
It will definitely be easier when you have a bit more experience, but I've done a big move twice (TX to NC, NC to NJ/NY). The first was while I was an analyst, and the 2nd was while I was an AVP. I was offered a spot in CA and one in TX this year, but turned down both to move to another firm in NYC.
If you are open to moving, it is actually possible that you really like your new city and the feeling of wanting to move back goes away. I'm 10 years removed from TX and have no intention of moving back.
I've worked in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia. I would be down to move again.
