I search the job near to the home.
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

I moved to different part of a city, moved within a state several times, moved to different state for my current job. I moved from over sea for work in the US. I build 3 brand new homes in the process.
Our current home was build on an 11 acres farm 8 years ago and I raise chicken, ducks, pheasants, quill, guinea hens and have three big greenhouses, but I never consider it a home. I've never felt any place in the US as a home. One day I will have to start all over somewhere. I admired some of the local folks here where their whole family and extended families were born and live within 20 miles without moving anywhere for the last 200 years.

In which state is your farm you located?

As the grandson of immigrants, I must fall back on my late elders:
Home is always where your heart is, even if the place no longer exists.
Various wars in Europe have demolished every place my ancestors ever called "home." And the culture has moved on. When my immigrant forefathers returned "home" to Europe — variously to Germany, Norway and the slice of Poland that once was "East Prussia" — for a visit, they each found that it no longer felt like home.
A few years back, I went back to my home town on Long Island, NY for a short visit. The buildings were still there, for the most part. The elementary school that was brand new when my sister attended it is now a sunken ruin, surrounded by a suburban neighborhood of mostly boarded up houses – they were built on sand fill and over the years the sand shifted, causing the buildings to tilt and sink. The old Baptist church, whose congregation was mostly elderly back in the day, is now abandoned and disused. All of the stores and hang-outs of my youth have different tenants now. The neighborhoods of shiny new modern suburban homes of my youth are now aged and out-of-date. The playgrounds that were always full of children are now empty and disused. All of my friends from school are gone – some died in Vietnam, car crashes, cancer or other causes; most of the rest moved to other places. Only one remained: she is single and now elderly, taking care of her now very elderly mother. My hometown was no longer "home" to me...

My job wasn't the reason we moved, but while it increased my commute from 25 to 30 miles one way, it cut my travel time from 1 hour down to 30 minutes due to different traffic patterns.

Many moons ago, I moved to Japan to work for a subsidiary of Seiko-Epson. I did it mostly for the adventure of living in a totally unfamiliar culture.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

... so you really had no choice but to move. Only moved to three different states though, then decided to separate from the military and stay put here in Florida. Been here 18 years now.

Early in my career I moved to take a job within the state, as my rural home area didn't have much for IT jobs.
A few years later I moved again to an area with a better economy and far less snow. In both cases the wife & I decided where we wanted to try, and then found jobs there. We liked the last destination and have been here 20+ years through numerous jobs.
Friends and family have moved to places because of specific jobs. Sometimes that works out, and in some cases they absolutely hated where they moved to.

Yes, I moved to different parts of the country, but it was when I was in the military, and not for computing jobs.

First job out of college, I moved from New York to northern New Jersey. A few years and a few jobs later, I moved to central New Jersey to cut my commute. Fifteen years and a few more jobs later, an opportunity within the company I worked for moved me from New Jersey to central Texas.
When I sold my little suburban house on a third of an acre in New Jersey, I bought a small 20 acre ranch in Texas with a bigger house, barn and other outbuildings and had money left over. I now raise goats. I eliminated the state income tax (Texas does not have one, but New Jersey does) and my property tax dropped to 25% of what I was paying in New Jersey! 
Now that retirement is closing in, I am thinking of selling the ranch to buy a larger ranch a hundred or so miles further west, but still in central Texas. From ranching, I will probably never retire. (Have you heard about how the farmers' and ranchers' retirement party begins?? The minister, with a very somber look, intones: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together to celebrate the life of ..."  )

I've moved cross country for work - but it was for work in chemistry, not computing.

Move for a woman? Pelvic thrusts, I presume (a tongue in cheek remark).

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
