>Currently in AZ making $57,500 + benefits
>Job offer in KY for $59,000 + benefits + once off $5,000 moving allowance
It will cost me about $1,000 total to put a hitch on my car, rent a uhaul trailer and drive my ass to KY so the moving allowance is excessive.

My thoughts are 1 of 2 approaches:

>Roll some of the moving allowance into the salary
>Don't negotiate monies and accept as is, but put a salary review in the agreement so after 4-6 months I could possibly wriggle the base salary up 5-10% to between $62,000-$64,900 pending satisfactory performance.

Essentially the 1st year salary is $64,000 which is about where I wanted to be, but as it stands the 2nd year onward will be a pay cut... so I want to figure how to just keep going upwards...

financially its the same shit, just put your foot down, pretend you're actually a desirable candidate, and say it's not worth it to move for less than 70k/yr, take their offer of 65k

t. self employed, wagies tell me stories though

If they are desperate for someone across the country ask them for $80k. Still, doesn't seem worth it at a salary that low, I mean hell you could move boxes at a warehouse for $80k these days. I'd just find a new job there you already live that maintains competitive salaries. It might be harder because they aren't as desperate but once you get the job you know they will give you the token 5-10% raise a year to match inflation / cost of living.

It's at the University of Kentucky so I don't know how competitive the bargaining process is. But I know I am exactly who/what they are looking for and yeah, all evidence says so since they're hiring me from out of state...

UK is basically state employee so wages wont be as competitive as private industry but the job is essentially to get me closer to the midwest so I'm taking it as a way to move location without sacrificing standard of living, more than a career move...
