[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is before Covid…

I usually see standard of 10k for relocation / moving, storage etc

Then before the real move, a couple of trip to tour the area, see school, look at houses in different neighborhoods. Sometime they even add this for one day when they fly me out for interviews. [/quote]

Trouble is with that little you will get a ton of "fake" movers. I moved NY to DC with a 120K package. A time I had another job offer with a lousy 5k package. I did not want to move at all. But was getting laid off old job. If I did not get the job with a 120K package was going to take job with 5k package and just go every week and pretend to move and keep job hunting and then quit.

In fact I accepted that 5k offer as the 120K offer dragging as I only had 48 hours to accept and the other offer was a week or two away. I finally got the better offer and backed out last minute. Also the 120K package gave me  in writing a 120K bonus e after first year if met expectations. I did buy a house in DC after six months. But did not sell my house in NY and move family officially till 18 months later. Did back and forth. By then had the 120K moving package and 120K bonus as fulfilled the one year.

Guess what they let me go after three years. After moving 18 months later and their is no relocation package. Luckily I got another job in DC. But it could have turned out bad. People dont realize the new firm can fire you anytime and if right after you moved and sold old house it sucks.
