If congress only wanted to grant the partial exclusion when you are moving to make more money, they would have said so. 

It would be best to stick to the facts rather than fabricating different scenarios that alter the basic hypothetical, which is where a taxpayer retains exactly the same job after moving to a new location and takes a second job (whether that second job is secured before or after the move).

 

I still think you are reading too much into the regulation.  There's nothing that says you have to move for your main job, or your only job, or both jobs, or your best paying job.  It says you must move because of a job change, that occurs while you are living in the old home.
