Quitting job and moving without a new job lined up?
After nearly a decade at my current job, I've decided to move to a different state to be closer to my family. While being near my family is one of the reasons for moving, part of the reason is that there have been some changes the past year or so at work that I do not like. I really would like to start over somewhere else, closer to family. Will employers be suspicious of me leaving my old job and see it as a red flag?

Do not expect the worst from potential employers. They may wonder, and you can certainly be prepared with your reason for the change. It is generally harder to get employment that isn't local for you, so moving first is a reasonable accommodation, especially since you have family in the area. Have confidence in your ability, do everything you can, and leave the rest up to divine power. God Bless

Absolutely not.. sometimes some company will ask for your previous address. As a matter of fact, that is a good reason, but the moving gap should not be too long.. I say more 6 months (for you to get used to new environment),
If you had interview, just state that you loved your old job. Some will buy anything..

There is no red flag for leaving your job due to relocating. If they ask your reasons for leaving, or ask about your previous position, just tell them that family was a big part of the decision to move.
Good luck to you and your new adventure.

If you're moving, it makes perfect sense to leave your job. I would start applying other places and just put that you can't start until a certain date on the applications.
