I would if the cost of living was less. Also, consider other important things such as proximity to family, friends etc. Also, I am fairly conservative, so living in a liberal area is a turn off to me.

I would have to agree!

For moving to Mumbai, NCR or Bangalore. Would take at least 50% raise.

Yea I did it myself. But there’s a lot to consider. Cost of living, room for growth, what the actual salary is that you’re being offered and is it above the average for that new city. Personally, for me, the 30% increase was still barely covering my living expenses in that new city. But a year later I got a new job with a 40% increase, so it worked out in the end.

To uproot my family and move, I wouldn't consider it for less than 50%. If I were younger and single I probably would have done it for 20%.

Don’t move yet. Get a monthly rental. The employer can rescind the offer, or you don’t like the job.

It would depend on the living costs of the new place. What would be your living expenses vs savings? Other factors I would consider would be career growth opportunities, school district for my kids, overall living expenses, net savings, taxes, etc. Think about what is important for you. Is 30% a significant amount for you?

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
