job offer is it worth it ?

Risk does NOT always equal reward. Furthermore, a 5% pay increase is a piss-poor reward to expect when faced with the risk of:

1. Potentially losing your new job when the new employer needs to reduce budget and eliminate employees without seniority.
2. Potentially hating your new job.
3. Potentially hating your new location.

risk=reward

What’s that old quote, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got”

go for it

but you wont be the one to get a phone call " dude i’m drunk and lost somewhere in the ghetto" lol he atleast knows where not to go by now in baltimore.

i know a lot of you are talkin about the warm weather as a factor for moving… well if global warming is legit pittsburgh will be pretty nice in about 10 years or so when houston is burnt to a crisp

the job is with the same company so im not worried about losing my job. Its a better title and the money is actually on par with that region with the corporation. so when i move back to the east i can get another bigger raise. I dont want to spend another 4 months looking for a job and staying in baltimore id rather take the better title n a lil money now than be miserable staying in baltimore.

As for cost of living it will all wash out since i have a roomate now the 6% i wont pay in state taxes will over the difference. Also i will drive less miles to work insurance is cheaper and also wont have4 to pay 150 a month to park. So thats 250 right there a month ill have more to spend. So im going for it im going to take the offer tomorrow after i counter offer for 8% if i get it great if not then its ok too. I just need out of baltimore and best of all its only a year contract so i can always move in a year if i can find another job.

sweet, good luck
