[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think they could have let you know about the possibility of moving to Hawaii when they were still deciding on whether they would accept the job offer or not. Your willingness to relocate along w/them should have been a factor in their decision on whether or not they were going to move or not.[/b] Yet I also can see the perspective that they are also giving you plenty of advanced notice. I would weigh many factors before making a permanent decision on this. • Once the kids go to school and your duties change, in all honesty would you feel 100% comfortable taking over the responsibilities of an entire house(hold??) Family laundry, shopping, errands (maybe cooking) in addition to keeping the bathrooms scoured & the floors mopped, etc.? • Will you miss any friends that live locally to you now? • How much will your salary change if the COL is higher in HI than where you currently reside? This is a big life decision. Make sure to think it out vs. making an impulsive decision. Good luck to you OP whatever you decide to do![/quote] If her decision to move or not move was that crucial to their family, they would have told her. I'm sure she's important to them, or they wouldn't be trying to get her to move. But, come on![/quote] Also, that's bonkers. No one is going to base a decision to move for a job opportunity on whether or not the live-in will come with them. If she won't, they'll just hire someone in Hawaii. They clearly like her and would like her to keep working for them, but be reasonable. Other points are good ones--consider the change in duties, consider what it would be like to not know anyone besides the family you work for, do some research into how your cost of living might change, etc. You're single and have no kids, so this is a good time to do this, but you want to make sure that you've considered what it will mean.
