my situation is as follows:
current working in city A with possible relocation to city B. driving from a to b can be done but its upwards of 15 hrs given you do it in 1 run. doing the drive over 2 days is more reasonable.
the catch is that we ahve to apply for our own jobs in b. another catch if you call it that is that i don't have a cpa, but one of the requirements/ preferred advance degrees to be had or in the process of obtaining. currently i have a bs in management, an aa in accounting and 2.5 years studies overseas. i've been at my current job for almost 8 years this september. i know obtaining a cpa (as the firm prefers) can be as easy as like 18 months or even longer. i'm prepared to take like yrs if needed as its been a while since i've been in a classroom environment.
per upper mgt, my salary will stay w/me and follow me to location b. say for ease of discussion i make $60k. i'm hoping the same $60k is what i make there...but what if they offer me the postion with a lower salary, due to a lower cost of living (cola) and other factors how much lower will it be 'acceptable' to take the move? say if they offer me $56k thats ~ a 5% cut in pay. Can i somewhat request that it be $58k and i'll move? fyi i make a lot more than that, but no $100k/year figure
still waiting and will let you all know....
