Don’t Get Around Much Anymore
By Adrian Sutton
Human Resource Executive Online has an interesting story related to my previous entry:
Ask yourself this question: If you were offered a new job in another city where you have no ties or networks, and you suspected that the job would probably not last more than three years (which is a good guess), how much of a raise would they have to give you to get you to move? Remember, you’d likely be trying to find a new job in a place where you don’t have any connections when that job ended. I suspect it would be a lot more than most employers are willing to pay.
Again though this should be driving up the number of remote jobs, but where are they all?
