Hello :slight_smile:

Are the sentences below grammatical? I personally think that they sound awkward but I’m not completely sure if my gut feeling is right.

A: She left her hometown because of finding a job.
B: She left because of finding a job is difficult in her hometown.

Thanks

I’d suggest these:

She left her hometown because she needed a job.
She left her hometown to find a job.

She left because finding a job in her hometown was difficult.
