Looking for a Job Is Tough

I've been unemployed for 4 months. While I have received a job offer, it would require me to move and either sell my house, rent it out, or just continue to pay the mortgage on top of rent. I'm torn as to what to do as I do need a job, but I don't want to leave my friends and family. My thoughts go out to everybody else out there looking for a job at this time.

Is it in a position where, if remote work would be possible, regardless of corporate policy?

Unfortunately I've been told in no uncertain terms that it's in office only.

Damn, that situation really sucks. Hope you’ll be okay no matter what choice you make!

move temporarily. 3 months. 6 months. ..

do not do any other drastic changes (selling houses, divorcing, whatever).

Decide what to do then.

This is the backup plan if the interview I have on Friday doesn't pan out.

sucks...

after the dot-com bust, i took a job that involved a 70 mile commute (each way) which was about 100 minutes on the road on average each way. At the time, i thought that was the only option for me. turns out it was one the worst career choices i made.
