I can't seem to find an apartment that fits my budget and I am due to start in a couple of weeks. Nothing has been happening. It's been set back after setback.

I'm very stressed out. None of my plans has panned out and I'm very much stuck at the moment.

I think I made the wrong move by accepting this "dream" job.

I need some guidance.

angel's are saying to start thinking about what things your willing to go through regarding this dream job start thinking about it now and they said sadness is on the way but at the same time happiness will come in time.

what to do:
You may very well feel trapped in a job that you detest but can't see your way clear to leave because of the security. Consider whether or not the trade-offs are worth it; the truth of the matter is that in this day and age, very few jobs, pensions, etc. and so forth are truly secure. If you choose to stay where you are; be aware that this is a choice that you are making, nothing has been foisted upon you. If you don't feel the trade-off is worth your unhappiness, start putting out feelers and giving thought to what you can do to change the situation. You are not trapped unless you allow yourself to be trapped. It's very possible that you will decide to leave your job if you are currently working, even if it's a good job, because your heart is no longer in it. You are being called to follow your dream, no matter what it is. If you have a desire to do something different, but don't know anybody who does what you want to do - be bold, and call up someone who does what you dream of doing, and ask them if you can have lunch with them or shadow them for four hours. You'd be surprised how often such a request is met in the affirmative.
I'm getting that in the future you may change your job or you'll get a better job in the future as well but if you stay in this current job even though things seem stressful now, it will tend to smooth out eventually in time. and you will find an apartment eventually there saying it's rocky now and in the near future but things will smooth out if you decide to stay for a month. they said "there is still hope for an apartment"

Angel:

Thank you very much. Your reading is truly insightful and gives me hope (which I was starting to lose, quickly).

Well, I haven't started working yet. I need to move before I start this new job which is the reason why I'm so stressed out.

Landlords ask me to come and visit before they can offer me a room. How am I supposed to do this when they know I don't even live in the country? These people have no logic whatsoever. Finding an apartment when you're in a different country is a hard task.

I'm a bit scared I won't find a place to stay before my departure.

The problem is not so much the job (which I'm sure is what I want to do), it's the location/apartment hunt which proves to be a hassle. I didn't accept the job because of the financial security it provides, but because I really wanted to work in that specific field.

Is this new city/country going to build me up or tear me down? Am I going to be happy there?

A small yes/no answer is enough. I'm really reconsidering my choice.

Thanks.

Have you tried AirBnB? Book a few weeks in one and then look for a more permanent place when you get there.
