I moved up here 2.5 years ago - dare I say it... from MA and it was the best move I ever made. Save your money, and retire in NH I was told... but I was determined to make the move prior to that (yes, I am impatient!) Sometimes its worth taking a cut in salary just to get to a place you want to be - if you can afford it of course! Let me say that you just can't put a price on being able to come home from work and take your boat out on lake winni. Feel very lucky to be able to do this and many other things that people from away have to wait in anticipation for....
So, if your husband is in IT I would look to Liberty Mutual in Dover. By far the biggest and best outfit in these parts. I travel to LM from Alton Bay every day and the commute of 45 minutes is not bad at all. As for pharmaceutical companies, you may find limited results. Lonza does come to mind, but I would try to expand your search to include any variations that may possibly be in the area?
I remember being in the same place as you several years ago. Think there might even be a thread I posted some time ago on this very same topic! In any case, if you want to move bad enough, you will make it happen. I wish you good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
