Key concepts in this essay

flexibility vs. stability in personal and professional life
economic drivers of mobility (job market demand, salary growth potential)
social costs (community ties, relationship strain)
generational and demographic variations in mobility patterns

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Mixing career changes with residential changes without clarifying whether they're connected or separate phenomena
Presenting only benefits (growth, opportunity) without addressing costs (instability, social disruption)
Using vague claims like 'people are happier now' without distinguishing between correlation and causation
