got a few questions for the interview which will help me decide.
Main points for me are:
1) Will the role in San Jose, be as varied as here. (i do alot of things outside my job description)
2) Will they match the salary i get here
3)Costs relating to Visa/Moving, will there be a relocation package.
I need the answers to those before i would say yes/make my decision.
I doubt it as you are requesting the move rather than them relocating you.
It will be something i ask for, even if its just a months rent in advance and the cost of the flight over there. If it makes me seriously out of pocket, i won't go.
That might sound as if you're not really serious about the move. If you really want to go and you think it's a good move (I certainly do), then take the financial hit and go for it.
Not wishing to sound bitter, but I wish I'd done it when I was younger. You've always got a place with your parents if it doesn't work out.
Way i look at it, if they want me, they will give me a package.
If they don't really want me and i have to pay to get out there, i don't really want to work there...
Visa costs can get into the thousands, plus a flight, mounts up a lot.
Have to see what they say.
