I love my job, but it is oil dependent and things aren't looking good.
I may have a job offer for a company in Southeast Alabama. Most employees live in Pensacola and a few in Mobile. I would probably choose Pensacola, but does anyone have any experience living there? I vacation there, but I'm sure it's different living there...
New Job:
Automation and controls engineer
Diverse company looking to expand
No 401k matching since 2008
My pay would increase about 20%

Enjoy it if you can get it. We had a hard look at P'cola and applied for a bunch of jobs there when we ended up moving to Baton Rouge in 2013. Lots of fishing opportunities.
You might try Pensacola Fishing Forums for more practical advice: lots of locals there. Not as friendly as SC, but not too bad.
