My current place has gone to crap. New leadership came and just killed the formerly great culture. Everyone is jumping or wants to jump ship, but the labor market is tight. I've been trying myself, but the labor market just sucks. That said, I"m happy to have a job. It's a privilege these days.
I've been networking and I have some contacts, but one mentioned relocation. I thought about it for a weekend, but declined. Not so much because of the geography. The cities were pretty fun. The issue is that tech and corporate, as a whole, is in a bad place right now in terms of job security.
I personally know a few a people that relocated and were laid off in less than a year, which was a huge disruption and set them back financially--another benefit of remote first honestly. No need to relocate.
If times were better, I would've continued my candidacy for that role. But I don't want to uproot myself and be a victim of last hired/first fired of layoffs.
