Still going to keep details at a minimum, but here is an update.

Offer#3 is still out there - It was actually supposed to be Offer#1, as a verbal “We will get you an offer shortly” was uttered to me 17 days ago.  I called them 3 days ago (2 week anni), and they said that they were still putting the package together.  This is a local opportunity…

I attempted to turn down Offer#1 3 days ago.  It was purely based on location - it is in an area that is very sparsely populated (industry wise), and is about 90 miles from the nearest metro area.  The concern is with the wife finding a position at all.  So I let them know that I could not accept their offer in that location.  They responded that they would:

a) consider wife for a position at the same location

b) consider wife and I for positions at their other location, which is in a much more desireable area

So, they rejected my non-acceptance

Offer#2 is a good offer in a location we are familiar with.  Relo is an issue only because of their package - the move is covered, but nothing else.  As some of you know, a relo is not cheap, but neither are the associated costs of selling/buying a home and temporary living.  Offer#1 would, in their words, “Not allow me to spend a dime during the process”.
