How good and useful it is to be too attached to your native land. Vincent Solhonne can attest to this, he who decided to leave his job in Paris to continue his professional career at home in Auvergne.
This homecoming occurred in February 2020 and therefore allowed him to carry out the first and great confinement in the comfort of a house with a garden not far from his family, rather than in an apartment in the big city private of all. its charms. This is what has become known as perfect timing in the realm of lesser evil.
Couples to the test of telework and confinement
In finance
Vincent Solhonne, 26, is from Riom. After studying on the Cézeaux campus punctuated by a Master in Finance at the Institute of Business Administration Clermont Auvergne, he set sail for Paris – an almost obligatory passage for anyone who wants to work in finance. “I worked there for three years as an asset advisor at Société Générale. I went there already with the desire to return to Auvergne. My return was just made a little earlier than expected. I actually thought I would do a little more. “
Close social circle
Vincent Solhonne had a fine nose regarding the conditions of his confinement but he did not flee Paris for all that: “It is clearly a nice city, especially when you are young. You can build up a good network very quickly and even stay there for a long time, always. But I had this desire for Auvergne. I have the attachment of family, friends. I wanted a close social circle, which Paris does not allow. “
The pandemic has not accelerated the return process for Vincent Solhonne. Beyond the original desire, there was a professional opportunity, for him but also for his partner: “We went to Paris together. She is a teacher and the game of mutations is always complicated. I had an opportunity in a position that I liked, which is necessarily rarer in the provinces and not specifically in Auvergne. Her too. “

Alignment of planets
Vincent Solhonne, perhaps too accustomed to the great volatility of the markets, evokes “long procedures”, but for the common people, it went very quickly: the first professional contacts with Auvergne took place in the virological recklessness of the summer of 2019. Six months later, Vincent Solhonne found himself in an office of the Montluçon savings bank while his partner took charge of a classroom in a college in the same city. “There has been an alignment of the planets. We took advantage of it. “
Preserved environment
A chance as much as a good decision that some of his former colleagues must have envied him: “We were necessarily several from the provinces at work, all with the same desire to leave Paris. But those who did not anticipate their departure got stuck. The pandemic has gone too fast for everyone. “
When he talks with them, he obviously notices that he missed out on a much stricter and more complicated confinement for a person used to the unspoiled environment of Auvergne. “Looking back, I know that it would have been very difficult to experience this in my apartment. But since I escaped the worst, I might as well not think about it too much. “
