I am fairly old but one thing I will say is this. I have never regretted a move. But I do wonder about the ones I did not take.
It sounds like you know this is a good opportunity. Take it.
Mobile will be there in a few years if you change your mind.

I mean this in the most respectful way possible, stop being a baby back bitch.
I say that because it is clear you know Savannah is the right move for you and your family. Just reread what you have written and you'll see it too. You wouldn't have posted here if it wasn't
I imagine that in the HVAC field you can find a path back to Mobile if you find out in 3-5 years you want "home"

I lived in Savannah. Great people there and one of the coolest SE cities.
I had a apartment near Lincoln and State, downtown. I don’t have kids so I don’t know much about the schools. There’s definitely two very different sides of the city, however. For a long time they’ve struggled with gang related violence and drugs. It’s somewhat isolated in specific areas so I would advise taking a look at a crime map for a good idea. Unfortunately politicians in Savannah really ignored several poorer areas for decades in an attempt to contain crime in non-touristy areas.
That being said, I never felt uncomfortable there and every larger city is going to struggle with similar issues.

Savannah is a great city with good food. It's a "sister" city of Charleston. Tybee Island is close by. I've heard that some parts are rough, but that's a given with any city. I'd say it compares roughly to Mobile. If the pay is good, then I'd put in some serious consideration to moving.

My wife was born and raised there. I have lived there a couple different times and still have family there. Savannah is a great town and the fishing in the area is awesome. However, the public schools there are awful. I have never seen a town where private school was a big business like there. So prepare to pay big or live in One of the surrounding counties. The private high school my wife attended there is now like 17k year.

Do it. Savannah is a fun town and beautiful.
However, don’t ever take advice from some random dumbass on a message board. Pray (if you’re into that), write your pros and cons and ultimately do what feels right. Good luck man.

Savannah is a nice area. Like most places, it depends on where you live, but its got good fishing decent beaches, and its relatively close to Florida if you want that. I'd do it man. Cost of living there aint bad either.
You'll have to put up with some Georgia Bulldog bullshite, but the city is fine. Go get dat money baw.

Savannah people need Air and Heat too.
Gives you a chance to grow in several ways. Mobile will always be there. Give your kid a chance to experience something new as well.
I will need pics of wife to offer my thoughts on her moving with you.
Go for it, it will be worth the experience and promotion. Good luck.

Moving is a very interesting proposition. You move away from family, friends, church, you have to find new doctors, dentist, barbers... Does your wife work? There is no simple answer, but for me 6-7 hours from home was my limit. Far enough to be away, but close enough to get home for major events, etc. You would be looking at 7:45, so right on the edge. If it is a great opportunity, go for it...
Lots of great advice in this thread...in my experience I agree most closely with this. Opportunity was great but wanted to still be within distance to make impromptu trips to
see our parents as they aged.

I moved from Mobile after school and I miss it every day. It's one of those places you don't realize you love until you leave it, at least for me.
That said, if your family is on board and it's what's best for your career, you gotta make the call to move forward.
Like others have said, Mobile will always be there.

I was in the Army for 21 years.
Moved around a good bit.
Made friends at every stop and enjoyed the different places we lived.
You will be fine. Home is where you are.
I have not moved since I retired from Army, but who knows what lies ahead.

I have always lived in th Mobile area (not counting college), but I travel a lot. I’ve spent some time in Savannah and it is a pretty cool town. Very, very similar to Mobile, but a little more well-known, IMO. And, I agree with someone else - it is like a sister city to Charleston, SC. Close to Hilton Head. Close to St. Simons, etc.
I would go for it. As someone else said, Mobile isn’t going anywhere. If it doesn’t work out, move back.

The city of Savannah is really interesting lots of history etc. The problem is the crime rate in Chatham County is bad. I would try to live in one of the surrounding counties and commute especially if I had a family.

Time to take flight my friend. Don't be afraid to fail. Don't limit your dreams , and in 20 years look back at your accomplishments.

There are a couple Georgia posters (don't remember who specifically) that live in Chatham county. One of the islands I believe. You might should post on the SEC OT to see if they'll help with particulars of the area.
I've never spent more than a day at a time in Mobile so can't offer comparisons, but Savannah is a cool little city. Go there several times a year and have friends that live there. I'd definitely explore it. There's more to it than beautiful squares and candy kitchens
. But there is a notable element of crime specifically in certain areas.
4-hr access to Atlanta, 2 hr access to Jacksonville.

Yeah. But that's just another Savannah

Sounds like a great opportunity for you and the family, grab it by the balls and make it yours!
