Self-Handicapping Job Interview

As precisely and repeatedly advised to not do during the licensure preparation process, I am exploring a possible major life transition. It's an opportunity that presented itself, and that I, perhaps foolheartedly,  agreed to explore. Not only would the start date and major geographical relocation fall in the middle of my early preparation, but my workload and cost of living would increase at least doubly while my salary would decrease 10 percent. Still, my quality of life during this post-doctoral year would improve significantly. Choices. Responsibility. Self-handicapping?
