Work problems

So I work as the general manager of a major hotel on my area. It’s a part of a major chain of hotels. I was told today that I might have the opportunity to be transferred to a different hotel for more money, but would cause me to leave my hometown and move across the country.

Not sure what to do. Have until the first of the year to decide
That’s a major life decision and change, if you take it. If you’re a praying woman, I’d definitely pray about it. Either way, weigh the pros and cons. List them on a paper. Find out all that job would entail, including housing or apartment costs, food, transportation, if the area is more economical and all... you never know, then narrow it down. I sure wish you the best. It sounds like a great opportunity to further yourself and your career.
@Lindaisfun Sounds like God has given you this opportunity, but still check everything out. Even the crime rate in the area.

Yeah. It’s a great opportunity. So basically what they told me was that I can stay in a suite at the hotel for up to 3 months for free. Then I would be covered for 50% of my rent as long as it was in the same city that the hotel is located.

@LadyGrace the negatives are that I would be leaving the state I’ve lived in my whole life, leaving my friends and family, and starting all over. Kind of scary
Goodnight. 😊

@LadyGrace you too

If you are making good pay as is and are happy where you live then I’d say turn it down and be happy with what you have. It is a huge ordeal to move especially across the country

@Ryanoliver2011 but most times u turn down a promotional raise u will always b passed over forever more
Ryanoliver2011 · 26-30, M
@Lilnonames so what? If she’s happy where she’s at that won’t make any difference and I’m not sure that is true but I’ll take your word for it
Lindaisfun · 26-30, F
Yes. Money doesn’t buy happiness. But it does buy a whole lot of other stuff. That’s what i am debating

Don't forget to look into what everything will cost in the new area, and you need to think about crime and schools. In the end you could be making the same or less if you have to pay more for housing or private school if they are bad in the area
Lindaisfun · 26-30, F
@MinMan80 solid advice. Thank you
MinMan80 · 41-45, M
I've heard that it has happened to other people before. And with that big of a pay increase coming with the new job there will either be lots of new costs or you might just be under paid now for what you do where you are at

What is best for your kid?
Lindaisfun · 26-30, F
@Serendipitymaybe exactly. She’s the number one thing in making my decision
How about cost of living in that state, good school for your child? You may make more money but may spend more too just to maintain a similar life style and work conditions?
Lindaisfun · 26-30, F
@aaaabbbb it is a higher cost of living
@Lindaisfun Is Net or delta between the two worth moving? If there is subtantial value not just monitory alone (i.e a Better life style, great school, good compnay, future advancement and an adventure) worth the trouble than take it.
Lindaisfun · 26-30, F
That’s what I’m thinking about. It’s a significant raise though and I would have a housing allowance.

Being in a new place won't know were to gamble, may help with your problem
