I cannot point out how commonplace this is but should you be having a job and looking for a new one the most important card up your sleeve is exactly this: That you already have a job.
Going to an interview as an out-of-market fella does just one thing: Tear down all your negotiating power, because let us face it: no matter how good you are, no matter how experienced you are, your future employer [or the representative of your future employer] sees you as yet another supplier of their company.
That is, they will try to buy your services on discount. And by being out of the jobs marketplace you give them a pretty good reason to ask for that discount and insist on it.
