It's Your Life

If you're single and have no dependents, then you can probably survive in a new city with a random landscaping, janitorial, or Starbucks job. The risk is relatively low, and the reward is potentially high.

However, if you have 4 kids, a mortgage, and a job at the local high school, it can be incredibly risky to move without an offer in hand.

Do what you think is best for you and your family.
