I'm currently agonising over what (for me) is a difficult decision.
Currently I've got a good job, which I enjoy, and I'm nicely content. All fine and well so far. I also have few ties, the ones which exist being family, friendships and relationships - all but family created over the last two years struggle since I uprooted myself and abandoned those I had previously. Even family turned into a once a month/every few months thing for most of the first year while I was finding my feet.
I'm just now starting to feel settled again, but have started to consider a somewhat more drastic change/move. The first was a move, within the same country, of about 100 miles. Not too bad at all, and all for the job I'm now in.
Now I'm looking at applying to another job (which is very much a long shot, the place I'm looking at applying for is very, very selective) which would involve a bigger move. I'm looking at applying to the CERN installation in France/Switzerland. Most likely I will be going ahead with the application, and will be crushed when I don't get it, but I wanted to do two things. Firstly to vent and hopefully get out some of the anxiety (now done) and secondly to see if anyone else has done something similar in the past, or has any opinions about making such a move?
The other thing I'm considering is that now cycling is an important part of my life. Has anyone cycled near the Swiss/French border, and whether (should I get the job) I should be looking for a better MTB than the comfort one I've currently got?
