Honestly if you're moving just for a job, you're a sucker.

You need to be moving so that you can be in a city you want to be in, you get offered at least 50% more money in nominal terms probably 20% in real terms, or you're making a crazy career jump.

The employer <-> employee relationship is just way too skewed in favor of the employer.

They will cut you loose immediately if situations change. There's no reason for workers to be loyal to employers as a result. So why move for one?

Yup. I'm willing to move for love, family, friends, exciting city etc. But job? Unless you're significantly upgrading my economic class. But actually I did that already when I was 20 and not sure it was really worth it.
