I got an offer at what seems to be a good an stable company with a path to GC. Thing is it requires relocation and isn't much more money. Current gig has no path and is not sustainable for the future for a few reasons, but is remote. Both positions in house. What would it take for you to relocate?

Every person will have a different answer to this. Hard to tell, unless we knew you and your circumstances personally.

For me, I’d only want to take on the level of responsibility required of a GC if the pay was worth it. Perhaps in the 9-figure range for TC. That way, I could have a path to retirement within a couple of years if I really hated it/burned out/want to find another job.

I’m remote right now, and I love it. Definitely would need a big pay package to leave my position now.

I worked for a company that got acquired by a public company you probably never heard of. The GC of the acquiring company told me they didn't have the budget to keep me on. I looked at the SEC filings; he was about $1M in compensation. We could have split the workload and the salary...

This will depend a lot on specifics. I just moved last year. The main drawback for me was giving up around a 3.5% mortgage and having to take out a new one around 7%. That eats up a big chunk of any raise you get, while chewing away at your overall home equity with repair and realtor fees.

Take the offer. “…no path and not sustainable..” will not end well

Doesn’t mean don’t work hard but chill the heck out people. Clearly this is just a job that doesn’t pay you well enough in the first place why are you stressing other people out too?!
