I've been offered the opportunity to go to our cooperate headquarters in Minnesota to train to become an area director for the corporation I work with.
Right now I make $60k a year. And I'm generally happy with what I do. The area director position is like 85k a year.
The issue is, I don't think I have the money to live in Minnesota for 3 months. I'd be moving back to the KC area after I finish, and I'd want to keep the place I have in KC.
Any training/living expenses should be covered. That would make zero sense if they don't have a plan to house/pay people for a 3 month training. [Reply]

This.
They'll probably put you in a hotel or something. [Reply]

You just got an email and hit up CP right away? :-)
They will house you then. Mark that down. No way an employer in this labor market won't do that for months of training.
Enjoy your time in Minnesota. The summers on the lakes up there are amazing. [Reply]

Not only that, if they give you the per diem money to get your own food and room & board, you can make a decent amount of extra cash if you do it right. [Reply]
I seen a few others mention it but coming from someone who knows a thing or two about what companies should and shouldn’t provide, your company should be providing you with room and board if they are having you move somewhere to accommodate training. Obviously with private companies it can be a little gray and they can simply say no, but depending on your work (government jobs usually pay) when requesting accomodations for training they should either provide to you a specific location of their choosing, or have you choose your location and you pay OOP and have you submit probably end of month receipts of your stay to be reimbursed accordingly. But again, it really depends on what/who you work for
I mean shit, in my state your employer has to pay %20 of your internet bill if they are having you work from home and barely anyone knows about that for some reason where I live. There’s a lot employers should be providing you but won’t provide it until requested. Best advice, generally voice your concerns and ask what accommodations they will provide. For example my sister had to go somewhere for a year worth of training for her job and they did not provide her with any accomodations in her move but that was laid out in the fine print before switching positions. If it’s not been provided in the fine print, I’d definitely inquire.. [Reply]

I got offered a job in Vegas working at one of the casinos in corporate in April and turned it down because they couldn't meet the $ I needed for it to make sense. [Reply]
