Just saw this while browsing and decided to throw this question open to Nlanders

In a world where good jobs are hard to come by, more and more job seekers are looking outside of their current cities to find work. According to Worldwide ERC, a workforce mobility association, their member companies spent $10 billion in 2011 on corporate relocation in the U.S. That breaks down to more than 216,000 domestic transfers.

Of those transfers, one-third dealt with relocating new hires, indicating that employers are willing to relocate the right people for the right job. In many cases, relocation can mean new opportunities for not only you, but for your spouse and family as well. And while there may be challenges along the way, the payoff might outweigh the risks.

When considering relocation, it’s best to focus on the big picture. Determine where your career is going and where your significant other is in her career and figure out what cities you’d consider moving to.
“If you are moving for the position, definitely working with the organization on relocation expenses or having your salary inflated to compensate for the additional expense of relocating is best,”.
