I was hired 8 months ago for a job in neurosurgery that does paid salary training at $40k/year with some overtime and on-call pay. I passed my certification last week that triggers my 2 year contract and within a week they told me they need someone to relocate to a very, VERY rural city in a Midwestern state. They sprung this on me jusy before my first shift back from vacation at 6am and made it sound like I had no choice (I'm in contract, remember). It comes with a $10k raise and a $3500 moving allowance. I more-or-less said I'd do it seeing as I didn't think I had an option.
The rub is, I really don't want to move. I was hired on the pretense that they'd move me to my home town, the capital of my state, once I passed my certification. Then when that contract fell through, I was told I could stay in the medium-sized city I was temporarily living in for my training. Then they sprung this on me. It's worth a $10k raise for me to not move. It's also worth $15-17k for me to move.
How should I approach this? I work in operating rooms so I don't actually see my boss face-to-face often (he works in surgery as well).
Some background, I have $20k in student loan debt and maybe $3k remaining in credit card debt. I have a $16k car loan (mistake that I can't easily reverse). I want to pay off my debt and save up some money to support myself when to go to med school.
