Need opinions

[Cdubyah]

I've been looking for a new job in Columbus for some time now, but haven't had any luck. I currently have a job, that I really dislike, so I'm not in the unemployment boat. However, there is no room for advancement, and I pretty much work by myself. Plus the pay is pretty shitty. I'm not attached to it at all.

Some of the positions are hiring are for local applicants only. So that raises the question, do I move to Columbus, take another crappy job? Or do I continue my search here?

As of May 23, I will have 5 years in as a public employee. Should I keep looking for a public job? Or move to the private sector? There are pros and cons to both, I know.

Just looking for some opinions, Thanks.

You can always put our address down as your's. That way they'll think you're local. Then if you get the job, you move down.

Never ever quit a public job unless it is to take another public job that transfers all your retirement time over. My wifes parents both retired very early from their State jobs with awesome retirement and awesome medical for the rest of their lives. My wife quit hers when very young and regrets it every day. Me I still have mine and I am going no where.

Yep, some of the things, like advancement in a public job suck. But there are plenty of things in private jobs that suck too. Pick your suckiness.....I think public is the way to go especially in these times. Either way, in this economy do not quit your job to move. It is rough out there, even if you were local you would be fighting for jobs that a million people are trying to get.
