I wrestled with the same thing recently, moving from Seattle-area to Santa Fe, NM to be closer to my in-laws. It only worked because there was a singular employer who paid approximately what I had grown accustomed to. I think it is going to work out, especially since my wife has better prospects than she did in Seattle, but there's definitely a risk working somewhere that has few other competitive employers in the area. I'm not sure what I would do if I decided I needed to change employers, beyond some sort of remote work.
- drharby 9y agoWould you mind sharing who that employer was? Sandia Labs? I'm considering moving to NM for family reasons
- ianai 9y agoI’m interested too for similar reasons.
- AndrewGaspar 9y agoLos Alamos Labs. Maybe there's technically two employers if I'm willing to drive south instead of north. :)
- jnsquire 9y agoI'm interested in NM (probably Albuquerque) as well. How's Los Alamos as an employer? Anyone from Sandia Labs around? Anyone else worth considering there?
- s0rce 9y agoI hope it works out for you. I moved to place with a singular employer, ended up strongly disliking my job and eventually moved to the SF Bay Area.
