Hypothetical: You're working at your job, doing whatever it is that you do, when your phone rings. It's a corporate headhunter on the prowl.
You have a short chat, and on a whim you send him your resume. A week later, you have a firm job offer in hand with a company that is a virtual clone of your company. Same quality of company, same type of boss, same type of work, same type of office environment, same benefits, same chances of advancement. The only differences are: 1. The new job is in a different city/country. 2. The new job pays 20 percent more in real terms, and includes an adjustment for the cost of living in the new location. When the following poll is posted, please check all of the locations where you would move and take the new job. As a bonus question, in the situation above, in what city would you be most happy about getting the offer? It can be any city in the U.S. or the rest of the world, but must be more than 100 miles from where you currently live. |
