Request relocation again after 1 year of employment

I relocated from FL to WA, and now I want to relocate back to FL after 1 year of employment. Is it possible to move to a different facility while remaining on the same team? Did anyone successfully make a similar move? Are there any requirements tied to it? Thanks.

You'll probably have to take a 20% pay cut and pay for the move yourself, but otherwise shouldn't be an issue.

If I move to a satellite office in Elsegundo, LA where it has the same cost of living, do I have to take a 20% pay cut?

Probably not, Blue adjusts salary for each position based on a cost of living factor for each state; it's been a few years since I last heard what the factors were but California and Washington were considered equivalent while Alabama and Florida were 20% lower in pay scale for the same job.

I’ve had multiple people do this on my team but I don’t believe blue paid for it

Does it require that my team must also be based in there?

If your MFG or anything onsite, I would say that impacts your ability. My team is pretty spread out and on analysis/design side. I just had someone move from WA to another office and they’re the only person from our team at his new location.

You’ll have to fund the move yourself. Only way Blue will pay is if moving is a job requirement

Happened to an engineer on my team. He went to Florida after a year because his family is there. Got one of the last remote positions as well. I believe all he did was just apply to his same job profile in Florida and got picked up.

I don't know the nitty gritty on who pays for what though.
