I moved from west coast to the mid west. It sucked big time. It still sux but I am kinda getting used to it now.

Yes. I did and it's been one of the best decisions of my life. It was exactly what I needed at the right time. I was stuck where I was with no chance for an advancement or real future. The company I'm currently with, I have a lot more opportunities and it hasn't taken me long to work up. I'm already making more money now than I was with my old employer and I'm happier with my position.

Timely.\n\nI leave my job, and my career of 26 years, on the 15th December.  I no longer love it.\n\nWhy didn't I leave earlier? \nA desire for financial security (I'm still not quite sure what else I'm going to do, and my skills are quite specialised).  A perception that what I was doing was hardly the worst of jobs: well paid, normal hours, socially useful...\nA strong possibility that my problems were due to depressive illness, not my job, and that the main thing was to keep working while addressing my medical condition.\nA fear of being unemployed, and how that would be seen by family and friends...\n\nNow, what would I love doing that I can actually make a living at, seeing as I can't quite retire, yet?\nI'm about to find out.

After years of moving around advancing my career, I finally decided to "Marry" a company and settle down for the long haul.  Like I told them during my interview, I was interviewing them far more than they were me as it was my intention to retire here.\n\nI'm being groomed for my boss's job who's own retirement will be in about 5-6 years.\n\nI have a beautiful fiance and thus far, my tenure here is looking pretty good.\n\nIn five years, I see myself in my first home, married to my beautiful Stacey and running my department.  I'm looking forward to having the roots that I've had to keep unearthing at the expense of the career.  Now, I've put my time in and can settle back and build the longevity it takes to become a Senior VP at one the world's largest corporations.\n\nOh yeah, it's coasting time Baby !    ;-)\n\nP.S. --\n\nVery thoughtful question.  Thanks for the opportunity to share.

I'm so glad you opened another question, because I really wanted to answer.  I have been through a somewhat similar set of circumstances, and I just wanted to tell you my observations.\n\nI was looking for work (in computers) locally, but couldn't find many opportunities.  The ones I did find were low paying, and swamped.  But I really wanted to the nearby jobs so much.  However, after being shot down a few times, I decided to head into the city (not that far, but it killed my social life).  There were much better opportunities there, but I had to work long hours, be away from family and friends (I just commuted though, I was home on weekends).  I was miserable for a good part of that 3 1/2 years.  I'm not sure to this day that I made the right decision.  \n\nHowever, I got a very nice salary, very solid experience that follows me until today.  My resume is great because of that and it helped me land a very good job locally 3 1/2 years later.  Also, since I was just out of college, I was able to work long nights and weekends, something I wouldn't do now.  So it was a like a test a fire, and now I reap the benefits.  The trade-off was being a little unhappy for a good part of my twenties, which is something too.  That was my experience.  I think what I would do different now is that I would have taken the good job in the city and left after one year.  That would have been sufficient!

Are you interested in how to get a job there or in salary, job security and other benefits?

There are office jobs all across the country.  Keep trying.  Another question to ask yourself is do you have to move to Pittsburgh or is it more important just to get out of the area that you are in.  Maybe if you broaden your search area it will become a little easier.

No. The standard is usually 60 miles, if they move your position more than 60 miles from its current location (not where you live where THEY do business from) then they have to offer you relocation assistance. It depends on the company though, I wouldnt bother asking in your case because its rediculous to move from one side of town to another.\nGood luck

Depends what country you work in, wether you were a temp worker, contractor, established member of staff? Were you told you have a notice period? If you wanted to leave would you have to give x weeks notice or could you just not turn up?
