I have turned down or hesitated on certain roles because of location, even when the job itself was interesting. Balancing personal life, family and career opportunities has not always been straightforward. How much weight do you give location when deciding on a job? Recruiters, how important is one's location when deciding to accept an offer?

Location plays a big part in whether or not someone accepts an offer. I would love to take a role out of state but I don't have the resources to move out of the state and companies don't want to pay relocation expenses these days.

I've had varying lengths of commute. I've done very long, 2-3 hours, mid-range 30 min-1 hour, and much shorter. The short commutes make a HUGE difference in quality of life. I have an 11 minute commute currently. The ability to go home and attend to pets at lunchtime is important to me. What is important to YOU? We all have different needs.

Location is definitely a big factor for job seekers. I wouldn't say it's a major factor considered when offering a job. But of course if they were located very far away currently during the hiring process I'd want to know if they're planning to relocate or what plan they have.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Shower thought:
Why did Toronto (or Canada?) change the exit signs from the classic red EXIT sign to the green running man? Wouldn’t it confuse more people especially elders in finding the exit?

Also isn’t it a waste of money for businesses to replace perfectly functional exit signs when renovating?

I am a sixth-year associate overseeing a second year. They are an exceptionally good associate. I am honestly shocked at the work product I receive and the way they go above and beyond.

I know they’re busy, but I would like to address this in a positive way. Any suggestions?
