Your passport to a better work-life balance? Photograph: Don McPhee
Looking after the content on the jobs site is a constant battle of restraint. Every day I am tempted by job ads and every day I face a daydream of a different life, a different location, a different salary ...
There's a particularly tempting position being advertised at the moment in Italy. It's for a community editor. They don't specify the actual location but just the mention of Italy is enough to transport me on to a piazza, sipping a glass of Amarone in dappled sunshine.
And if a recent report on working abroadby the Centre for Future Studies is to be believed, I wouldn't even have to take a pay cut. In fact I would be looking forward to a 43% rise.
It's not just in the rest of the world, though, where temptation lies. Closer to home the idea of working in Brighton and emailing from the beach as you can with the free Wi-Fi access now, is really appealing.
Inland a little from Brighton there's a project editorjob in Lewes, which some will argue is better than Brighton to live. I could start on my costume now to join the locals in celebrating the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot - the event with which Lewes is most famously associated. Carry a torch through the streets and let off some fireworks.
Today, however, the job which has caught my eye is based in Dublin: content manager for Getty images. I've always fancied living in Dublin. It appeals to my literary persuasions. A small enough city I could walk round, an exciting and developing economy - especially around new media - 167 different languages to choose from ...where's my CV?
The question is, of course, would changing my location improve my quality of life? Or would everything just be the same? Has a change in your location changed you?
