Really scared!
DH just got offered a job out of state. it's a low offer and he's going to counter, but he is ready to hire DH sight unseen (DH's cousin is a friend of this employer)
I am so nervous   and have such mixed feelings about this

Where is the job?
Atlanta
Have you ever been? Can you go for a long weekend or a mini-vacation to check it out? I went to a conference there last year.

I've never been there, DH has though, 2-3 times.
I def want to see it for myself though. I just can't believe he got offered the job so quickly...

Re: Really scared!
Atlanta is a great area. My Aunt lives right outside and I have a few friends/cousins who live there.
Besides the area, I'd make sure you & your DH would be happy with relocating and he's happy and satisfied with the job. After that, then, I'd have the serious discussion about moving.
I know we had talked about moving to North Carolina (briefly) but... I didn't like the area of N.C. had we been closer to the beach, I would've considered it more.

Re: Really scared!
If they come back with a higher offer, I would take a weekend trip there before any decisions are made. You and your DH are in this together and both of you should be happy with the final decision.
Good luck!

Re: Really scared!
Well...you DID want to move to the south, right? I know it was NC you were originally thinking, but who knows...maybe this was meant to be!!!
Whatever happened with all those interviews you went on?
Oh....good luck to you and DH!!! Make a list of all the pros and cons of moving and taking the other job. Maybe when it's all on paper, it will give you more clarity!!!
I have my fingers crossed for you!!! Good luck in whatever you decide!!!

Re: Really scared!
What is the cost of living in Atlanta? Maybe a "low" offer isn't that bad? For anyone leaving LI, a lot less salary will go further in most other states.
I don't know the cost of living, so it's possible it is a low offer, but just something to think about.
