Even if we fixed all of the above, changing jobs would still require uprooting your family. In an era where you worked for one company for life it made sense. Today I don't think it's feasible.
1. There can still be many companies in an area with lots of close by housing such that you’re not tied to a single job.
2. I moved cross-country several times while my kids were young and it didn’t bother them at all.
3. I’m mindful of staying settled for a while now that my kids are getting older and forming real friendships. But this is like a 10-year window of time, not an entire career.
