Relocation

Have you ever think of relocation?
Maybe relocate due to work request or career opportunity or etc.
And how do you decide whether to relocate or not? Well, relocate not necessarily means overseas, as long as you need to move to another place for the new job.

I have seen quite a number of my friends relocated, due to work or family. Some to other neighborhood district, some to different state, while some even out of country. Mostly due to work opportunities, as they couldn't find either the same job nature or better career advancement. Of course, there are some wanting to have a better environment for their family, or to be with their better half.

Moving to a new place, if you are single, is much easier. Although maybe you still need to think about your aging elders or younger siblings, if any. Whether they will need you to be around, or they can cope on their own.
If you are attached, sometimes you will be thinking about your partner, as not everyone is suitable to have long distance relationship. Of course there might be opposite case where you want to relocate to where your partner is.
If you are married, then you'll be thinking about your better half and children, if any. Without children, maybe it is easier to decide between the two of you. With children, you might be thinking about their welfare like the growing up environment, school and etc.

So, in what case will you consider relocation?
Have you faced this situation before and how did you handle it?
