I graduated last year and have worked as a compensation analyst at an insurance company for the past year. My girlfriend of six years recently graduated and relocated to Memphis, TN to pursue her career in biomedical engineering. We both knew it was most likely she has to relocate for her career, which I'm comfortable with.
My concern is, how long should I wait before attempting to secure a job in the Memphis area? I want to allow enough time for her to determine if this company and/or position is the right fit. There is not necessarily a time crunch because I still live at home and have no major expenses (debt free). Is three to four months a reasonable time for her to feel things out?
My director and VP both know my circumstance and are gracious enough to allow schedule flexibility depending on when I want to head to Memphis. While generous on their part, the company is designing an entirely new compensation model for its sales force. I am the only associate who has extensive knowledge of the systems to data mine the data records they need. I can sense the desperation of my director with the fear I may leave at a moment's notice.
Would it be I'll conceived for me to broach the idea of a raise? I certainly feel under compensated considering I put in 45-50 hrs/wk and redesigning and modeling a new compensation model certainly doesn't seek an everyday task for an entry level analyst position.
Has anyone faced a similar situation themself?
