Not enough of a pay increase. Severe downgrade in weather. Don't do it.Hello everyone, I am working as a teacher in a chartered school and as an adjunct instructor at local community College. I have an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineer and PhD in material science, currently pursuing MBA. I was applying for federal jobs mostly in Texas for the past year, after several applications I got an interview last month, it was a mechanical engineer G-9 position at DLA, whitehall ohio. I have zero experience as engineer, all my experience is from teaching. I received email last week with a tentative offer for the ohio job, they pay $68000 starting, which could double if I move to GS12 grade, now I make $58000 and my house is paid for, my wife is also making $58000 here in south Texas. My wife is against moving to ohio, she thinks it's a lateral move, since the money is not a big compared to what I make now but it can go up as i move up to G-12 grade. My family ( i have a soon to be 4 year old daughter) is not going to move with me. My wife thinks my daughter will be depressed if i leave her for the job. It is hard for me to say no for a federal job. Should I take this federal job at ohio?
