Transfer a Job to Another State

• 1). Investigate offices for your organization throughout the country. If you work for a large organization, there's a possibility a satellite office is located in the vicinity of where you wish to live. Find the information for a satellite office near your destination and offer to work there. If there are no satellite offices, look at the option to work from home. Create a comprehensive plan to present to your employer regarding working from home, and include scheduled visits (if necessary) to the office you previously worked in.
  
  
• 2). Investigate cost-of-living differences. Use Internet sources such as job boards, salary Internet sites or CNNmoney.com to create a report of the cost-of-living difference between your current location and the location you wish to relocate to. If cost of living is higher, offer to maintain your current salary. If the cost of living is lower, be willing to decrease your salary. If there are no satellite offices in the area you wish to relocate, be willing to decrease your salary due to lower transportation costs. If a significant increase is necessary to maintain your current standard of living, look at alternatives such as waiting to receive an increase until your next scheduled salary increase. Your employer is more likely to work with you if you present cost savings.
  
  
• 3). Present your research to your supervisor. Be prepared to present your compiled information professionally, and offer a solution for every concern your employer may have. Include your performance assessments, potential cost improvements and reasons you need to relocate to another state. Assure your employer that you are dedicated to the organization, which is why you wish to continue employment with them. An employer is more likely to work with an employee that has performed satisfactorily or excels. Because employers are looking to cut costs, your research and salary adjustment information should be appealing to your employer.
