How do yall deal with relocation? Currently I'm in FL but a much higher paying job will have me in NJ based and work in VA for the next 2 years. What is a decent amount I should ask for?

Are you asking about a relocation fee? Or difference in salary? NJ / VA are more expensive than Florida from a cost of living perspective, so hopefully that side is already sorted.

Do you have a family / spouse? Or are you solo? That could drastically affect the moving cost.

Depending on the company and the level of position, you can probably ask for $5k to $15k as a one time relocation amount.

There will likely be a “clawback” period as well.

Bear in mind, every single thing will be more expensive in NJ. Relocations are very dangerous right now with how poor the tech market is. This is a very big risk and you better research alternative companies nearby if you get laid off. Walmart just fired people that relocated to Hoboken after a year. Also, needing a higher salary increases your layoff chances.

Definitely make sure you calculate in what the difference in cost of living would be and I would also ask for a relocation bonus. I have moved several times but I always make sure that it is going to significantly impact my income before I do so.
