She was choosing between job offers in four cities
A client asked which job offer to take across several cities. I gave notes on location, timing, and salary range.
The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.

Okay, one moment please.
好的，您稍等
I'm changing jobs. A company in Chengdu asked me to start in May. I'm also talking to companies in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. I don't know how to choose. Could you help me look into this? 🙏🙏🙏
我这在换工作，有一家成都的公司让五月份过去入职，还有上海和苏州、杭州的在谈，不知道该怎么选择，想请您帮忙看看🙏🙏🙏
How to choose the best option.
怎么选择最好
Thank you so much, Zongyuan.
麻烦师姐啦
Also, are these current offers good, or will there be better ones later? Thanks 🙏
您看是这些机会比较好，还是后续有什么更好的机会吗，谢啦🙏

A few notes: 1. Metal and fire elements are favorable. For cities, prioritize Shanghai and Chengdu. 2. The overall pattern shows internal restraint. Even if you start the Chengdu job in May, you will return to Shanghai as early as this autumn, or by 2028 at the latest. You will ultimately seek income in your home base. 3. Your financial outlook is fairly good. The numbers I see include 1, 2, 5, with 5 being more prominent. For example, a monthly salary of 15k or 25k, or an annual salary of 150k or 250k, up to a maximum of 500k (depending on your specific role and industry). Overall it is quite competitive. 4. Act quickly, do not delay. Opportunities this year are fleeting. Take them when they come; dragging your feet tends to lead to worse options over time. 5. Your work will involve a fair amount of travel, but not over long distances — for example, moving around within the same city. 6. Based on your BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny), good things come when the metal element appears. In the fourth lunar month, metal's [redacted], but it is still better than nothing. I suggest you take the current offer first, and at the same time watch for better opportunities around September this autumn. If one comes up, you can transition over. After that, for better career choices, only look at opportunities in Shanghai.
几个提示:
1 喜金火旺，城市上优先选择上海和程度。
2 整体内克，因此即使5月入职到成都，快则在今年的秋季，慢则在2028年会回到上海，也就是最终还是会在本地求财。
3 财运还是比较理想的，看到的数字带125，其中5比较突出，比如每月薪资是15k,25k,或者年薪是15w,25w，
最高不超过50w(具体看你工种和行业)，总体还算是比较有竞争力的。
4 求快不求慢，今年的机会转瞬即逝，建议来了就抓住，拖延之后容易约选越差。
5 你的工作性质跑动会比较多，但是出距离不远，比如在同城奔走。
6 结合本人八字，见金就有喜事，巳月金的[redacted]，但是也聊胜于无，建议你可以先入职，同步看今年的秋季，大约9月左右是否有更好的机会，若有可以再过度回来，之后更好的事业选择只看上海的机会即可。
Please take these.
请收

Got it, Zongyuan. It's exactly like you said — the Chengdu offer has good pay, a fixed monthly salary of around 25k, which is decent in the industry. My hometown is Anhui, but I moved my household registration to Shanghai a few years ago. In that case, am I considered from Anhui or Shanghai?
收到师姐，确实像您说的，成都给的
待遇不错，每个月固定月薪也能给到
25k左右，在行业里算不错的，我老
家在安徽，户口前几年迁到上海了，
这种我应该算安徽还是上海本地哈
My family also hopes I stay closer, they think Chengdu is too far. That's why I'm torn.
家里也比较希望我离得近点，觉得成
都太远了，所以比较纠结
Zongyuan
You are considered a Shanghai resident now.
你属于上海人了
I suggest taking the offer directly. There's a five-month gap otherwise, and waiting it out is tiring. Take the income first. But you should know in your own mind that you will come back eventually.
建议直接入职，因为当中空档有5个
月，熬着也比较累，有钱就先拿，但
是你自己心里要清楚，人早晚会回来。
Client
Yes, I've never had a gap since graduation, so I feel uneasy when I'm not working.
是的，从毕业以后就没空档过，所以
不工作的时候就比较忐忑
Exactly, I will definitely have to come back later.
确实，后续肯定还是得回来
That's what I think too.
心里也这么想的
Zongyuan
Mm.
嗯
Then just go ahead with the normal arrangements [emoji]
那就正常操办起来就好了[emoji]
Client
I just don't know if I can find a good position to come back to.
就是不知道能不能找到比较好的岗位
回来
Zongyuan
There will be. What is meant for you will come.
会有的，命里有时终须有
It's a matter of time.
时间问题
Client
That's why I'm in such a纠结 state right now.
所以现在就处于特别纠结的状态
If I go back to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area, do you still recommend prioritizing Shanghai? I just feel the cost of living in Shanghai is so high, I wonder if other cities there would be suitable 😀
就是我回江浙沪的话，您建议还是优先考虑上海的机会吗，主要感觉上海消费太高，不知道这边其他城市是否合适😀
Zongyuan
Only consider Shanghai.
只考虑上海
Client
Got it ✌
明白✌
If I do go back, do you think it will be this autumn? Which months have good opportunities? Can I go back at other times? 🙏🙏🙏
如果回的话，您看是今年秋季吗，是几月到几月有好的机会哈，其他时间能回吗🙏🙏🙏
Zongyuan
Only watch the timeframe I mentioned, September to October. If you miss the opportunity then, you will have to wait until next autumn. The latest you will return is 2028.
只看我说的时间，9-10月，机会错过，就要等明年的秋季。最晚在2028年回来。

Client
Got it. So September to October is when opportunities appear, or is that the start date?
明白啦，9-10是机会出现，请问还是入职时间哈
Zongyuan
That is when they appear and when the offer is confirmed.
出现且确定意向
