My company was recently acquired by a multinational corporation. Knowing that all IT was managed from corporate headquarters I was concerned that my job was on the line. After inquiring directly with corporate I was assured my existing position was secure and I would not need to move, but 6 months later reality sets in and the rumor mill indicates I will soon be asked to move to HQ or look for greener pastures. So I ask SN, should I consider a move to an area with a higher cost of living (and under what conditions) or should I start the job search?

The twist: my significant other works in a different division of the some company, so it has been made clear that both of our salaries are affected by this decision.
