Wasn't sure where to put this, so I guess this will suffice. Not even sure why I'm posting this here. I guess I'm looking for thoughts as I mull around my own.
Got a nice job offer - which is good because I currently dislike my job at the moment. The problem is the job would require me to relocate, and while I don't mind doing that, the relocation policy the company is offering does not include an agreement to purchase the house at appraised value after a certain number of month without being sold. Given the housing market, this is worrysome.
I live in Northern NJ. A nice, relatively affluent part of Sussex county. The housing market being what it is, I don't want to risk not being able to sell my house and having to pay for another house in the new location. Even if the job offers a 10% raise, 7% bonus increased (33%) and stock options in a very healthy public company.
What would you guys do? Keep in mind it's not just me. It's my wife and newborn as well. Do I take the risk that the house will sell?
Don't worry, I'm not going to follow advice of anon folks on the internet. I just want to see what the folken think.
TIA
