Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 3224326, member: 523"] Why not? Any at will employer really has no business asking about your plans. Unless you are signing a long-term contract, you are free to take the job without reservation. The only caveat I would offer is that if you know your are going to be part of a long-term effort that would be difficult for your employer to replace you without causing a major disruption, that ethically you wouldn't be acting in good faith taking on the assignment. I would note that this is a very high bar, that most examples you might give wouldn't meet it. Your #1 responsibility is you and I say that as an employer. I have a promising young employee leaving for geographic reasons. At first, I wanted to make sure he understood the cost/benefits of his decision careerwise. Once I knew he did, I was fine with him leaving. He, like most, is replaceable. If he doesn't leave poorly, there are no hard feelings. [/QUOTE]
