[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the PPs saying relocate. It's not at all that simple. Companies outside of the DMV 1) want to pay him way less. Like less than 50% of his previous salary and 2) want him in town to start today. So to do that idea he'd need to relocate ahead of you to interview. [/quote]

Hard agree. And don't forget the cost of moving (movers, truck, first month's rent/security deposit, supplies, furniture, etc).  Lots of stories of people moving cross-country only to lose their jobs within days-months.[/quote]

He has been unemployed for a year!  He can move by himself to get started, settle into job, and just rent a room somewhere.  It's also much easier to get a job when you have a job, so he can immediately start looking to move back and applying to jobs in the DMV once he is gainfully employed.

Many families have bi-coastal arrangement, and his kids are older so much less of an issue (and his wife seems to have gig work she does remotely so can visit easily as well)[/quote]
