Decide Whether to Accept a Relocation for Work
The promotion's good, the city's unknown, and your partner hasn't said much. This separates the career maths from the life maths so you don't say yes to the title and quietly resent the move. It works through what you'd actually gain, what you'd give up, and who else carries the cost.
<context>
You have been offered {RELOCATION_OFFER}: a role or promotion that requires moving to [new location] from [current location]. The role represents [describe: significant career advancement / similar role in a new market / lateral move with higher pay]. You have [partner / children / elderly parent / none of these] to consider.

<task>
**Make the relocation decision with a full picture:**
1. Separate the career decision from the life decision. They often conflict and need to be addressed individually first
2. Calculate the true financial picture: salary delta vs cost of living difference vs relocation costs vs housing
3. Map the personal factors that cannot be expressed in money: proximity to support networks, schools, partner's career impact
4. Apply a reversibility test: if it does not work, how hard is it to return?
5. Give a structured recommendation: accept / decline / negotiate a hybrid arrangement
