I'm still considering that. I have 2 more days to decide. Hard to tell an 11 yr old son who counts on me for coaching his baseball team and being a dad that I'm only gonna see him 1 day a week.
take out a notebook and have 2 columns . the PROS and CONS listed. this may help.
on a change of operations like this the company will have to pay moving expenses. they paid ours. it was over 6k. that's only one PRO. you said you'll have high seniority and stay out of package. that's good.
we didn't like uprooting our family. but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. our 2 daughters found excellent husbands. we have a beautiful home in the mountains. ( used to live in redding where it is so hot in summer. ) there were definately more Pros than cons eventually even though we did not see it at the time.
with only 6 years to go , you may want to tough it out . 6 years will go by fast.
write it all down on paper, have a family meeting , and sleep on it. go with your GUT, which is usually right.
