I had a little question about recruitment:
What would make you consider a position with a relocation package? What kind of arrangement/security would you like?

Nothing is more important than my personal life, and I'm not leaving it behind for a company.

Now in a decade when the kids are moved out? Invite me some place cool for a year.

Legally binding.

If you move I think it's important that you can survive even if the trial period "fails" and a permanent work contract doesn't happen.

So make sure that there is enough monetary compensation and that - if diplomatic approach fails - you can sue the fuck out of the company.

Which brings me to the next point...

Always. Really always. Have a plan B and a Plan C for emergency.

Either stash some money away, have a friend where you can stay on probation time, ...

Anything that is guaranteed to work and doesn't involve the company.

Aside from that I think it's important that you visit the town and take a weekend to a week off, stay in a local cheap hotel and go explore.

The job isn't the thing that defines your life, so find out if you want to live in that town or not.

Talk to people. Get to know the town. Find places matching your hobbies. Etc.

Always before you sign a contract. :)

By legally binding I mean that you really _must_ validate the contract by someone who knows the law. Don't sign a contract full of loopholes...

@IntrusionCM This is good advice. It just reminded me of a contractor I worked with. When I met him he said this was his first contract and he had just come back to my country.
He had just his dream job working in the USA.
He’d quit his job and sold his home. Moved there with his wife and pets. Before the pets had even made it out of quarantine the whole thing had gone wrong and he was jobless and homeless. He had to get back and then rent accommodation and become a contractor so he could get work fast.
