When you find a new job, it's exciting to think about moving to a new city. It's a chance to start fresh and make new friends. But there are some things you need to consider before you move after finding a new job. If you relocate, it will affect everything in your life: your family, friends, and other loved ones; your work performance; and even the way people perceive you as an employee or colleague. Before making any decisions, you should consider these factors:
1. The cost of relocating: How much will it cost to move? Will your company cover those costs? And what about the cost of living in the new city? Is it affordable? Will it be worth it?
2. How long will you be staying: Will you only be staying for a year or two or will this be permanent? If it's temporary and the job falls through, what happens then? You may want to put down roots somewhere else or at least stay long enough to make sure that your employer is reputable and reliable so that they'll help with moving expenses if necessary (which they should).
