I'm curious what the SVTp crew thinks. This is entirely hypothetical but I guarantee not a situation new to some on here.
If you were happy with where you lived and the company you worked for, would you consider moving for a new job/substantial raise/substantial promotion?
It's not something that's happening to me (for now), but I had a good friend move from what is arguably one of the best cities in the world to live in BFE South Georgia. I love Georgia, just Northern Georgia/Coastal Georgia. Not the south side of it. That might as well be nothern florida.
Anyway, he essentially doubled his salary, moved to a small town which of course has a lower cost of living, and is enjoying his life. I'm happy for him. But I can't necessarily say that if I was offered the same and had to move away from Charleston, I would take off with fire under my ass. Even if someone swung 125k a year my way, i'd have to move to a city where there was a substantial racing scene/car scene and lots to do and enjoy.
So now, my question. Would you move from a place you were happy, leave a company you like, for a big raise and potentially not perfectly desirable place to live?
