We’re interested to hear from people who have recently opted to turn down a job offer they were interested in because they found housing in the area of the workplace too expensive.
Whether you turned down a job because of unaffordable sale or rental prices for property within a reasonable distance to the workplace in question, and whether you chose to pass on the job offer or had no other choice, we’d like to hear from you.
Tell us if you’ve recently passed on an attractive job offer because of unaffordable housing in the area of the workplace, and what you did next.
