What would you do?

Other, please explaining:

I was in the military. Been there, done that.

It wasn't nearly as bad as some people might make it out to be. The new experiences and new things to learn were cool.

 

[MissTaken]

I would, depending on the circumstances.


Do the advantages outweight the losses?

Is the downside permanent?

 

[curious2c]

Yes, since I have done that. The kids...well they adjusted quickly, and even did better at the new location. It was a hard choice to make, but once made, I did not look back.

I have in the past, turned down some offers, but there were more important things involved than the move.

 

[SkyBluAngelEyes]

I have moved because of a new job and never did regret it.

Now it would depend on where the move was, cost and would my new employer be helping with that expense and how comfortable I would feel with the relocation.

 

[tyme]

I voted yes maybe it is what that child needs. If they already have problems are you going to make things worse? Go for it.

 

[watergirl]

No, not right now.... but I'm freelance, I work all over DC & MD & VA. I travel enough.

If I got offered a major super wonderful amazing summer job opportunity, like, say, Santa Fe Opera called, and said, hey, one of our painter's broken both her legs, and she said to call you, and we'll pay your travel and your extra one month of rent you're gonna have to cough up to get out of your lease - hellllllll, yeah!

but, there's a great guy here. So, I'll just stay put for the next year or so, I think.. maybe in a year, if I'm on a month to month lease, and have no major ties - I might try to pick up and go elsewhere.

it depends, is it a job in the adult entertainment industry?

 

[Bushido71XS]

I'll probably be relocating in the next year or so. I'm looking at either the Atlanta area or maybe somewhere in western NC.

I'm with KM on this one, it's something to look forward to.

If you were offered a promotion with better pay and benefits, would you take it?

Of course.

What if you had to relocate?

I moved to Nevada, 1/2 a continent away from my family, and not for a job. I'd say that's a yes.

What if it meant cutting the lines in a relationship because you were both moving in separate directions because of job location?

This would depend on the circumstances of the relationship. If it had progressed to the point that we were talking marriage, it would have to be one hellacious job for me to abandon that serious of a relationship.

You have children, relocating might mean a new school to a child that is already struggling?

In general, children are more easily adaptable than adults. I would talk with my children, explain the pros and cons to them but I would probably do it regardless.

 

[christophe]

i probably would not. i have too many years vested where i am right now. my son has his friends and school and with a house mortgage and the like it would make thigs more difficult.

if i were single with no attachements i would consider it

 

[SpiceCake]

I chose other. I really don't have the option at my current employement to relocate and still work for the same employer.

However, in my profession I could relocate easily.

yes.
yes.
LL...is the relationship more important than your needs? Is there an offer to compensate for your loss?

A child is resiliant...change isn't always bad. Hell, growing up, I didn't have a choice...and look how good I turned out...

 

[Killswitch]

Nope...I wouldnt relocate any further than....well...I am as far away from my fathers place as I care to be....75 miles; I need to be here in case he needs my help.

He was here for me then, and I am here for him now.

I have turned down a relocation in the past and I am glad that I did. I would quit my job before I would move. My employer knows I mean that and chose to let me stay where I am rather than lose me.
