s/o of UW's hypothetical spouse and careers
would your DH (or SO) sacrifice his (or her) career to further your career?
Re: s/o of UW's hypothetical spouse and careers
I know he would in theory, but his job is a lot more straightforward and higher paying, whereas I'm the one who is flexible and has to decide what I want to be when I grow up! I have 'sacrificed' (it ended up working out better than my original plan) my career for him in the past and it may happen again in the future.

I guess I should answer my own post

DH would definitely make the sacrifice, in fact, we've even talked about it. I'm incredibly career driven, whereas he is much more willing to stay home with kids/program video games in his spare time.
In fact, I really enjoyed Sandberg's speech (she's COO of Facebook) where she discussed the importance in your choice of a partner for women who strive for executive positions. It was extremely important for me to find a spouse who will not only challenge me intellectually, but fully supports my career desires and goals. DH cooks dinner every night, which also allows me to get work done in the evenings. He takes fantastic care of our pets, and takes care of the house while I have business trips.
DH and I both love SS. I've met her a few times; DH knows her quite well. I'm thrilled she is having so much success!
In theory, DH would say yes, that he would do that, because he would do anything for me.
In practical application, though, that would be the dumbest move we could make, so there's no way we'd ever do that. I'm not currently working, but if I were to go back to work it would only be in a role for either (1) a professional sports team or (2) a non-profit, and both of those pay absolute $hit. Tech jobs, on the other hand, allow one to indulge and buy fancy things like food and a roof over your head (which sports / non-profit generally do not, at least in SF - I would literally be lucky to have a cardboard box on a street corner with their salaries in this city).
Since I like to eat, DH's career will be the one we focus on and support, at least for now.
I hate to say it but I don't know if he would. He is so focused on staying with the same company that he kind of has blinders on. It would really depend on what the job I got was and whether or not he could find one before he had to leave his current job.
He does not do well with change and could not handle the instability of a career switch where there is not a plan set in stone.
Totally jealous. I'd love to meet her.
Kimberly, next time I'm in SF, we should seriously grab coffee. I have a feeling we'd get along
.
Yes, please, I'd love to! Alternatively we can always meet-up in Seattle.
But if you come down here definitely let me know... I love ladies in tech - there just aren't enough of them by any means!
