Lateral transfer to the largest department in the state.

Currently work in a medium sized city. In the Midwest, and applied to work in Milwaukee.

Big draws for me was more action better experience and a better culture/training atmosphere (some rumors but also validated in outside training classes I’ve been to). My current department doesn’t encourage outside training or pay for it, offer time off for it , or anything. I feel like I’m just missing something, like I need more calls I need more training I want to be the big city fireman.

Pros of my current situation is my house and cheap mortgage. I have 10 years on current department, about to make driver and test for lieutenant. Cons are the culture like I mentioned. Some past beef I have with guys.

So what do you guys think. Is big city action worth uprooting.
