Should I Relocate For a New Job?

Should My Job Search Mean Relocating For a New Job?

Relocate – Yes or No
Relocation expenses – are they covered by your company?
Cost of living – Is it higher or lower. Will you be paid a higher salary in a larger market?
Is it a long-term opportunity or only a few months?
Family situation – will they move with you. Will you go on ahead first? If not, will the company assist with costs to go back and forth?
Will short term housing be provided while you look for a more permanent position?
Will you have a support system in the new city/country?
Risk - What if it doesn’t work out?
Is the company and culture a match for me?
How well do you deal with change and uncertainty?
Can I try it out?
