[QUOTE="1989, post: 2185824, member: 10280"] So, joe, did you go? Have you packed everything up and sold the farm? A few things to consider: 1) health benefits, you should be fine maintaining them during the transfer since you are covered two months ahead. But when you get there, you need 80 hours a month (not 40) And you earn them only one month in advance. Your benefits will not be quite as good. 2) housing, it's not cheap. Easter wa. Even around seattle has better deals. 3) Wages, you can expect making about .75 less and pay an extra $50-$60 a week in state taxes. 4) Weather, hotter, smokey (when there is a fire near by) in the summer. Colder, snowy, icy in the winter. There are no snow days. Even when it's -12 in the morning (-35 with wind chill) Transfers come when you least expect it, if you turn it down now, you will have to wait till next year. I doubt they will take a transfer 3 years in a row, but I guess it's possible. Someone could get mauled by a grizzly next year. [/QUOTE]
