Well,to be honest I dont hire technical people.
Moving from a Major metro area, Working this hard on this decission , I assume that is Chaz is an Aggressive Goal oriented individual wanting to advance in his career.At 29 he is in the make it or break it years.
This is why I asked him questions about his goals and lifestyle!
If you are just looking to do the same job for the rest of your life, Then sure job pay verse cost of living= Greenville,comparied to most Metro areas.
I wish I made my salary in Greenville. Instead, I make it in Chicago. I make less than 70k. I have family in Greenville, and I'm pretty sure they don't make 70k either, and they live plenty well.
Location: Nothing could be finer... I'm in S. Carolina!!

Haha, this thread is kind of funny. southerngentleman....are you really a southern gentleman? haha, just teasing.
I have grown up here and I know for a fact that you will be fine w/ $70k. Especially if it's just you. Will you be supporting a family on your salary only? If so, it will be a little tighter, but you'd still be okay.

Thats fair. I've had a lot of trouble finding a job here mostly because I made a lot of money in Chicago. A recruiter here told me I'd be lucky to make half my Chicago salary here and sadly that seems to be true. Employers here are afraid to get in that situation and that somewhat explains the shortage of technical workers here. I believe once ICAR is in operation that will change as there will be a lot more competition in the area for these workers. Time will tell.
So you want to know if you shoud take a pay cut! I would not take a pay cut to move! As a Profesional when I look at resumes, the first thing I look for is Salary, if I see one that is declining I will move on to the next guy.
In all my years in business I have never put my salary on a resume nor have I ever seen anyone else do it. That is something that I only discussed in a face to face interview. I gather that you receive a lot of resumes that have the salaries right on them.
Not that I am planning on looking for a job but now I'm curious... is that how everyone here does it?
I Do Business all over the country, Financial Mainly, but we do have two other divisions of the company. I recieve resumes on a regular basis. Most have salary history plus desired salary range. For the most part I am looking for highly motivated individuals,who are advancing(Climbing the corp. Ladder)and with that goes Salary increases! If there is a decline it raises flags.Our clients are C level and the uber wealthy,so the expect a certain level from us.The other two divisions I am not so picky about.

A lot of companies here request salary history with a resume.
Don't know what you are leaving & where, but those dollars go farther here than many places!
