Over the past couple of years as the dot-bomb ravaged the job landscape, I have been asked if I'd take jobs elsewhere, in Texas, in Mass., in, oh, wherever. My response has been essentially the same: (A) I'd be going there for work, but the rest of my life would be essentially a wasteland, and (B) as I've been downsized plenty of times, there would be no guarantee that I'd be retained 6 months down the line, or a year, etc., and *then* where would I be.

Was asked by a company in Phoenix to interview one January when it was
bitter cold in Massachusetts. Waited until May to get back to them.
They were still looking. Interviewed in boiling May heat in Phoenix.
Flew back to Boston, stepped off the plane to find BEAUTIFUL gray
Boston rain. Ignored Phoenix. By August the company had closed its
Phoenix operations. If I'd gone, I'd have been stuck.

China, anyone? Ni dong jung-gwo hwa ma? Wo budong!
