It depends heavily on your area and the current economy.

For example, almost nobody was hiring for software in my area during the Great Recession and I was laid off from the job I did have. Ended up having to relocate so I didn't starve.

Nowadays there's plenty of people hiring but companies around here tend to underpay.

Mind sharing which area are you referring to? Sounds like Europe :)

No, I live in the NE USA, but outside of any big cities but definitely not in a rural area. My country has a population of ~300,000.

Nowadays I'd probably be paid more if I still lived in my hometown that I had to leave (ironically).

Job hopping definitely isn't a big thing around here like in tech hubs - new hires don't get huge salaries starting out no matter how much experience you have.
