[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do it.

If it is a dream job with a dream firm (e.g., Goldman or similar).  Forget about being a minority and do the job.  If you are worried in about dating whoever (and not enough of whoevers to be around to be worth it) then move the mandatory M-F stuff there and leave the rest in storage.  Or, depending on how much you're making, move the work stuff to a city apt in SLC and get a weekend house/apt/condo elsewhere for everything else, including your social life.  In terms of finding where the anywhere else is, look up the quick direct routes out of town via car and/or plane.

I did it once.  Great job, ok company, lousy city.  The move (and my hard work) MADE my career and something I have parlayed to a series of jobs now back in DC. You'll have less competition in SLC than if you stay back east and frankly a good shot at a job back east once you've gotten a reputation there.  In good firms like GS, they want to a diverse cross section and some of that diversity is having expertise at other locations. [/quote]

Good advice thank you![/quote]
