It's Not Business, It's Personal

Yahoo! Hot Jobs’ Job Tip of the Day shares:

You may be considering moving for your career, but a move will impact every aspect of your personal life as well.

Carefully evaluate what is in it for you on a personal level. A higher salary is certainly compelling as is a more promising local economy. But will the move afford you more work-life balance? Will you have more time to spend with your children or on a favorite hobby?

Investigate the school system if you have children. If you’re single, investigate the social scene. If you’re religious, look into houses of worship. Are you a yoga buff? Make sure there’s a studio convenient to you.

Factor in your commute time, the climate, the cost of living and the crime rate. All of these things will impact your quality of life.
