We don't have nearly enough information to give a responsible response.

So I say go for it!

Is the job something you really enjoy? It would not a good to move someplace just to be unhappy in your work nd then be stuck because you can't afford to move back home.

How far will you have to move? Can you make friends easily? Being alone in a new city can be hard, and if you can't get home for a weekend it can be harder. 

Is the pay enough to cover your cost of living for that area? Do your research on this. I cannot stress this enough. My daughter lives in San Francisco and her rent for a small 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment is more than my mortgage payment for a 4 bedroom/2.5 bath house, and she is under rent control.

Is the climate one you can tolerate? I am from Florida and there is no possible way I could live in Minnesota. Way to cold for too much of the year.

If you think about moving job..  Then you should do it. Or atleast start preparing yourself for it.

Depends . . . Where the job moves you, will it cost more to live or less? . . . Is it a job with "Upward Mobility" or will you never advance?

Will you incur additional travel expenses to visit family, or roughly the same amount?

It is a place you could comfortably live or is the climate bad, the terrain bad . . . The culture bad?

How's the commute from where you can AFFORD to live in this new area?

So, do you see all of these questions Where perhaps YOU would be the best person to answer them???

Seriously create a Pro and Cons list and do some homework . . .
