Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I'm wondering if I could get some advice from you folks. Prior to this year's application cycle, I was hoping to move out of state to do my internship. Now, I am feeling pretty iffy about moving away from where I am located due to COVID concerns. Truth is, I didn't score a lot of interviews, but I do have a few sites in the region I live in, which wouldn't require me to move. However, those sites aren't as preferred as the other sites that are far from where I live (2000+ miles). Specifically, I would like to work at a site that does therapy and assessments. The sites near me do not offer assessment writing in their rotations. If I move away, the stipend barely covers cost of living/rent/gearing up for snowy conditions/etc. and I would simply be moving to a new state only do stay indoors and do telehealth all day. BUT, those sites are what I consider "perfect" in meeting my career interests.
I guess my question is, if I happen to get placed at a therapy-heavy site that does not offer an assessment rotation, would that jeopardize my chances of getting a postdoc position that does offer assessments? Thanks!
