Hey Guys,<p>I recently got an offer from Amazon to be an SDM in their Seattle office. The problem is, I have to move my family across the country for this. When I talk to my friends and family, they say I shouldn&#x27;t pass up this opportunity given how difficult it is to get into Amazon. The few things that worry me about the move is.<p>1. My wife has a great gig in my current location, so I really don&#x27;t want to disrupt it until it makes sense for both of us in the longer term
2. Will I survive in Amazon? In all likelihood, it would seem like I will have to stay away from my family for at least 6 months. Just to make sure Amazon&#x2F;Seattle is a place worth moving to. The notion of staying away from my family (wife, toddler (not in school yet) and a dog) really pains me. But on the flipside, if I do make it in Amazon, it does open up greater opportunities for me (in Amazon and other high tech companies in the neighbourhood) which will help me secure my family&#x27;s future.<p>So question to fellow HNers...should I take the plunge? Love to hear more from working couples who have done this with Amazon in the past. I am really confused by all this, so any suggestions is appreciated.
Ask HN: Should I move?
