I once did exactly the same thing. The pounds or dollar signs fill your eyes and you make the decision based on that, but the reason's you wanted to move in the first place are always going to be there. Since then I have turned down offers of pay hikes and always moved and never regreted it. I use the reasoning that if they appriciated me they would have paid me more without me having to force their hand.

Can't argue with that. I desperately wanted to get out of Darwin and would have happily taken a serious pay cut to get back to Brisbane. However (smug mode on) I got offered a job in Brisbane with a small pay rise (end smug mode).

But seriously, money used to be very high on my priorities but now it's well down. When we decided to move here, my mind just seemed to turn off money as an issues and I'm happy to stay that way
