Depends on how bad you need the money, and how long out of some decent work that you would love. That was the case for me so I moved from West Virginia, USA to Hawaii, USA. (USD1000-1200 14-16-hour flight in third class sucks however.) Note that I was fully compensated for moving & interview expenses. Otherwise, I would have remained on the contiguous 48 states, and possibly would have to move on my own.

Good thing is I am working with Perl (along with being a DBA in training) as a junior programmer. Bad thing is everything is expensive here, besides the dangers of tsunami, earthquake, volcano eruption & vog. (I was aware of the natural hazards before I applied for the position.) Sometimes I have to remind myself for being in Hawaii. As I a said, depends.
