I'm considering a job offer in Indiana as a network deploy technician with a pay rate of $28/hr. Currently, I make $26/hr in California. I'm curious about what this job entails and whether moving to Indiana would be a good career move overall. Can anyone share their thoughts or experiences?

While Indiana has a lower cost of living, it doesn't necessarily mean a better quality of life or more career growth. Just something to keep in mind before making that leap.
Working for Amazon can be a mixed bag. Sure, your pay will stretch further, but the job market isn't great in the Midwest. Just be cautious about long-term prospects.
Honestly, $28/hr in Indiana will get you more than $26/hr in California, especially when it comes to living expenses. However, keep in mind that job opportunities are fewer in Indiana, which could cap your growth potential. Think about whether you're okay with that.
That's a good point. Fewer opportunities might mean lower ceilings for growth. It's something to think seriously about.
I moved from Indiana to California and my career took off. I was making $72k in Indiana, but then jumped to $150k in California. The opportunities are far better here, and the job market is much more vibrant. Don't settle for Indiana unless you really have to.
I'm hoping that by taking this job, I can eventually work my way up to $100k within a few years. Is that realistic?
