I took a job in another state in large part because one of the interviewers was a highly skilled sysadmin that I wanted to learn from (I had basically backed myself into system administration as a career at my first job, a startup, so I didn't have a lot of people to lean on to learn my trade).

Of course, he turned in his notice shortly after I arrived, because he had found his successor. So, that didn't work out so well for me.
