I have been offered a job interview for a position that would allow me to return to the area I lived before taking my current job. It is a similar position to my current, possibly a little higher pay, maybe less responsibility but very similar. I am trying to figure out how to tell my employer.
If this doesn't turn out to be an amazing job with much more money, equal or less stress and better benefits I am really not interested in leaving my current position. I only applied because positions in my field rarely have opening in that part of the state where this job is and where I want to return to living. If I don't get this job it could easily be 5-7 years before another position at my level in the career path I have in this area of the state is open, very low turnover for jobs.
So How do I convince my employer that even though I have only been here 18 months and will be happy to stay another 5-10 years more, if I don't try for this job I will always wonder and will get itch feet to move sooner rather than later.
