Should I relocate for a job?
A higher salary or better role can look attractive until housing, commuting, moving costs and lifestyle changes are included.
Compare the whole package
Look beyond salary. Include housing, travel, tax, moving costs, working hours, career progression and the value of your current location.
Separate reversible from irreversible choices
A trial period, temporary accommodation or delayed move may give you information before making a permanent commitment.
Ask what you are really optimising
Is the goal more money, faster progression, a different lifestyle or simply escape from a difficult situation? The best option changes when the underlying goal changes.
