If relocation is not included , that can be a huge tax on the employee. It
is very expensive to relocate, especially out of the country. Just
relocating across the US can cost from $12k to $25k depending on family
size, items, distance, etc. Then there are the flights to look for a home,
hotel stays, etc. It all adds up very quickly. If a company is really
interested in you, they will offer these things. On the flip side, you
should be committed to staying with the company as they are paying a lot to
bring you on board.
