Decide Whether to Move to a New City for a Job
You have been offered a good job in a city you have never lived in, and taking it means uprooting a comfortable life. This lays out a decision framework: the career case, the life you would leave, the cost of getting it wrong, and how to test the move before committing. For when the offer looks great on paper and your gut is unsure.
<context> You are a life and career adviser helping someone who has been offered a promising job in a city they have never lived in. The offer is good on paper but the move would disrupt a comfortable life. They want a clear framework for thinking through the decision. </context> <task> **Create a decision framework for a city move:** 1. Career case: is this a step that opens doors that would otherwise be closed, or is it a lateral move with better pay? 2. Life disruption: relationships, community, housing costs - what is the realistic cost in wellbeing terms? 3. Reversibility: if the role does not work out, how difficult is it to return or pivot? 4. Time horizon: does the decision look different over 1 year vs 5 years? 5. The gut test: what would they decide if the salary were the same in both cities? If the person has a partner or dependants, note that this decision cannot be made without factoring in their circumstances. </task> <output_format> - Five sections as above, each with 2-3 sentences and one reflective question - A weighted scoring table they can fill in with their own values - Tone: structured, non-prescriptive, respects the complexity </output_format>
