To summarize, I am an Engineer who seems to be hitting a stride in my career. I am getting contacted weekly, sometimes daily for job positions across the country.
At first I thought this was kind of cool and impressive, but now I am a little overwhelmed with it all. I recently started receiving some extremely well paying opportunities, more than I ever dreamed to be honest...but I also tend to undervalue my skills.
I am receiving offers that are now 60%+ above my current salary and offer moderately more challenging work but within the same realm of work.
I think I am overwhelmed at the possibilities but also feel I am being affected by the realities of a contract expiration in November...so feeling some pressure so to speak.
I know I will likely not be able to get a comparable job/salary in the current remote location (island) but am not one to rule out any possibilities, however I do realize going to a more populous city will increase my odds if I experience another contract expiration.
The most prominent opportunity in recent days was in FL, so I would be moving from Maui to Miami. Any thoughts on this move? Do I stick out my contract until October here, and then find the next opportunity, or do I pounce on this 62% pay raise opportunity in Miami and don't look back?
Oh the DH is also starting to get baby fever, so I am a bit nervous about the health insurance situation and worrying I might not be covered when that baby thing becomes a reality.
