3 Questions to consider Before You Accept that Promotion
No commentsCompanies often decide that they can operate more efficiently and more cost effectively in another town or sometimes in another country. It is quite common that they either hire a new staff in that town or take their employees along. If you are one of the lucky ones that was giving the option of going, that may not be such an easy choice to make.
The first question you need to consider is considering what the cost of living is in the new town that you will be moving to. The second question you need to think about is what the quality of life like there is for your kids and pets, and finally, what are the job opportunities for your spouse? remember its not only you that needs to make that transition and it generally will not be an easy one.
When you get the memo from your employer that they are offering you a promotion, they seem very pleased to finally inform you that your position is not being eliminated. At least with this if you decide not to go you still have a job. This is such a great position to be in. You have choices. You need to still consider a few things if yo have to move.
if you find that you really have no choice but to take that job promotion or if because your entire company is relocating then you should look into what resources are available to help you find what living is like where you will be going to. There is nothing worse than moving to a new city and not knowing what it is about.
Additionally, it really doesn’t matter if you relocate to DC, Seattle or NYC your spouse, who may be happily employed near your current home, must now quit his or her job and start all over again. This is a stressful situation to put you in so please think it thoroughly through. Keep in mind that your kids and spouse now have to find the library and playground, and new schools. This is going to be serious change for everyone.
