Present tense in main clause in first conditional
Hi
Please tell me if present tense sounds acceptable here.
If I am offered the opportunity, I am willing to relocate to a region which is nearer to the workplace.
(Though I know we use present tense in the main clause for the first condition(open condition), somehow use of simple present sounds a little unnatural here because of the immediacy embodying the action—relocate)
