I got a call from an old colleage (He was my Boss 2 levels up) who is with a new company, located in the D.C. area, and he wanted to see if I would be interested in a position with his company, reporting directly to him, significantly higher up the food chain from where I am now, for about 40% more than I'm making now, at a minimum, and probably a lot more.
The problem? I live in San Diego. Now they would pay relocation, including "buying" my house from me and paying for the move, pay the real estate agent who sells me my new house, that type of thing. But when I called DW to see what she thought, her reaction was, well, underwhelming. She has good points, our family is all out here in San Diego, and Tori is going to need a lot of support structure. The only reason I can't stop thinking about it is this job is not only a big promotion/raise, it's along the right career path (Sigh). DW said ultimately she would support me, but I can tell I better have a great case for it. Any thoughts?
