How much will a new Engineering job pay me to relocate to another state?
357375
Sorry to be equivocal, but it depends on the type of engineering and the type of company. Most large corporations will pay the entire cost of relocation for professional staff. That includes packing/moving expenses, temporary accomodations, food, etc. Some even offer employees perks like closing costs on houses if purchased within a certain timeframe or help finding a spouse or significant other employment.\n\nMany of these items are negotiable. Don't assume that because it's not offered it isn't available. Ask politely and be willing to offer things in return...showing up for the job on an earlier date, some flexibility in intial salary or raise if you absolutely/positively NEED help with moving expenses.\n\nSmaller companies or lower level positions in a larger company may offer no to only limited help with relocation. Again, this a usually a negotiable point. The only way to find out is to ask. Again, be flexible and try to offer something of "value" to them in return.

Here's what you need to do in order to make this decision:\n1. Estimate how much you are likely to earn in the new position.\nYou need to know the commission rate (it might be a percentage of sales, such as 3%). Then you need to estimate how much you will sell per week (or per month). Talk to Saks about how much most people sell. Then multiply the commission rate times the estimated sales per month to see how much you might earn per month.\n2. Consider how much your income might vary. Try to estimate how much your sales might vary from month to month, and consider how this will affect your income.\n3. Consider how much savings you have. If you have a lot of money in the bank, you can accept some variation in your income. If you don't have any savings, then you probably can't accept a variable income.\n4. You don't mention whether Saks also pays an hourly rate. My guess is that they will pay you a certain amount per hour PLUS a percentage of your sales. This will reduce the amount of variation in your income.\n5. Compare the amount of income (and its variability) in the new job with the income you receive now.\n6. Also consider the opportunity to learn more in a new job, the opportunity to be promoted (are there more promotion opportunities in the new job?), and whether you will enjoy the work more than what you are doing now. \n7. Also consider benefits. Does one job provide better health or pension benefits than the other? That's like receiving a higher salary.\n8. Finally, consider job security. Are you more confident of being able to kep your job where you are now, or in the new position? Is that a significant difference.\n\nThink about all of these things. Then look into your heart and determine what you really want to do.\n\nGood luck!

Sorry, honey. Your offer is tempting but I live in Ohio. Ever think about moving from New England?\nD

It depends.  There are parts of the country I have no interest in moving to--like the Northeast and California.  However, I came from Oklahoma/Texas area and thought I'd never move from there but I got a good job offer on the East Coast so now I am here.

There's no right or wrong answer, but I can tell you what I would do:  I would take the new job!  That's a really dramatic pay increase, and you would soon gain seniority and have the opportunity to find a better schedule.  Plus, there is a real feeling of accomplishment that comes from doing challenging work.  If I were you, I would take the new job and commit to saving at least 50% of the salary increase (so $3500 per year) for "big ticket" items like a new car or a fantastic overseas vacation.  If you have something to look forward to it will make the transition a lot easier!

Hopefully the Company will offer a 'house hunting/look over the city' trip for you and your husband.  Go to the chamber of commerce site for that city or the closest major city.  Check crime rate, schools and cost of living comparisons.  When you do relocate (if you presently own you home) rent for at least 6 months. Hopefully the new company will pay closing costs on the new house, or some moving allowance, in addition to the cost of the movers. Look at the move as an adventure.  Think of all the new friends you will make and all of the new things you can do in that state.

I secured a job in Florida when I was still living in Michigan.  In your cover letter explain your reasons for moving, it is also good to have a plan (ie - where you are going to live, potential move date, etc.) so that they know you are serious.  Also state in the cover letter that you are willing to fly to see them for an interview.  These points will let the potential employer know that you are actually serious about moving and not just playing around with the idea.

It makes sense to at least research the possibility of relocating to higher ground.  Like the middle of the continent!  I can definitely see the advantage, if you do get any kind of settlement on the value of your home and its contents.  But do think about where you want to go.\n\nWhat sort of job would you be looking for?  Are there things you could research on line about the job market in various locations that look good to you?  What are the major economic indicators -- cost of living, density of population, major industries -- that matter most to you?  And what are the quality of life aspects that matter most to you?\n\nFor example, I live in Santa Cruz County, California.  It is a lovely county, and you might be very tempted.  But do, please, have a look at everything you can about it before you are lured here (or any other example).  Because while it is undeniably one of the nicest places in the world to live, it is equally undeniable that it is one of the most expensive, as well.  Yes, Hawaii is even more expensive; but in the 48 contiguous states, central California is about as close to heaven as you can get; and I'm high up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, closer yet to heaven.  And the people around me who drive those lovely new BMWs and Porsches start out driving over the hill to Silicon Valley long about 4:00 a.m.\n\nNice, but you hardly ever get to see the place in daylight when you're working over the hill.  And that's where the money is.  Silicon Valley.  We have a little mini-Silicon Valley on this side of the hill, though.  It's called Scotts Valley.  If you are interested in high tech, look up what you can about that up-and-at-em little high tech haven in the Santa Cruz Mountains.\n\nSee, it all depends on what's important to you.  And that's why we have an Internet where we can research before we leap!  Indeed, you can also go a long way in job search before you leap.

I just moved from Florida.  It is a right to work state.  My last employer had a 52% turnover rate.  Raises went out once a year in the ten to twenty five cent per hour range.  The employer I had before that was pretty much the same.\n\nAuto, health and homeowner's insurance are outrageously expensive.  Housing is also getting to be ridiculously unaffordable.  \n\nWithout knowing what qualifications/experience you have or what type of employment you are looking for it is hard to give a more specific answer.  I had 10 years of experience in my field and made what other people would have considered a decent hourly rate.  I was struggling terribly to make it paycheck to paycheck.

I started working in high school.  I went from 4.50/hour to 6.00/hour in three years.\n\nI graduated with a BS in engineering and started at $35k and went to $50k in 6 years.  \n\nI quit for 2 years and got an MS in engineering (lost income but had a research assistant income).  My new job I started at $65k and went to $105k in 6 years.  \n\nWorking full time, I got a fellowship in the last 3 years got my MBA (and $20k/yr tuition support, which I'm not counting as part of my income).  Upon graduating I got offers from different companies for $115k - $125k, which my current company matched (high end).  2 years later, at 38, I'm making roughly $145k including bonuses.\n\nObviously it was performance, not just degrees, that mattered.  But for me, each degree was worth its weight in gold.

It depends on your qualifications, they will look at your units, etc. You can ask HR for the break down, they should have one showing qualifications and pay scale.\n\nYou are making me homesick, I'm originally from the south bay area ("Silicon Valley).

Probably not. Some companies will offer a signing bonus, however the relocation assistance is to attract qualified employees from outside the local area. It's probably also a tax write off for the business. Paying you a signing bonus doesn't achieve that and if they give it to you, they'd have to give it to everyone they hired.\n\n You can always ask about it, but if you really want the job, don't push the issue.

There are lots of variables to consider--location, your previous experience and particular expertise in this specific area, size of the organization, size and duration of the project, and whether you are working as a consultant or an employee ... but $65K is a generic estimate. It could go anywhere from $55K to 80K up to 120K ... so maybe you should be more specific in what you're really asking.
