For some Climate may be 30 % of the package ....for others may be 2%...so what is yours?
For example if anyone is planning to move permanantly to a place that is like the Antartica...the lifestyle is impacted a lot in that situation ..wouldn't you say so?
But on the other hand if the friends/family , cultural/social oppurtunities are concerned...they may rank higher...but again its a for life sort of decision.
no hard and fast rules or percentages.
if someone offered me a role with a million bucks each year, I will move to alaska.
but if its close enough, then there is no point.
like would somoene want to move to middle east for a net $20K increase, I would not, if the net is $150K hmmm then riyadh starts looking very nice.
its an all things being equal thing, then you really find out what places you personally like.
i have thought long and hard but sadly there is no city that is an ideal city for me, mix bits and pieces of london, rome, nyc, chicago, san francisco, hongkong, LA in a place that has all seasons, moderate summers, mild winters with snow.
sadly no such place exists.
If someday I win a bazzillion dollar lotto, I would probably want to live in diff parts of the world a few months here a few months there.
I am un urbanite, country escapes are good every so often, but I like big cities.
