Usually the older and more established a person is, the less likely he is willing to make a geographic move. However, if he has prioritized building his career, he will consider relocation as a growth opportunity and a normal part of life and career. Of course there are personal and family matters that come to bear. Take a look at the successful people in your life and in the public eye. Ask them where they ve lived.
Chances are that they have moved several times to seize an opportunity.
Some of them took it when it came, others sought it out. Either way, they realized an opportunity that brought them personal and professional growth. Most of their counterparts, regardless of however qualified or smart, did not. Just a few years ago I left a comfortable contracting position in my life-long home of Dallas to take on a project manager job in Los Angeles. My employer was a small niche developer, and their client where I would be assigned, was an international corporation.
