Would you apply for this job?
I know I've mentioned in other posts that DH and I are trying to relocate to be closer to family. We really have no support system where we live now, and we would like to start a family. I've been contacting people, applying to jobs etc. I've had a few leads, nothing concrete yet, but it leaves me hopeful.
DH came home last night and said that his boss wanted to put me up for a job at their company. It pays more than my current job, and is more aligned with what I want to do. If we weren't planning to move I would go for it without even giving it a second thought.
Taking this job would mean derailing my plans to move. We'd have enough money to start thinking about a family, but still wouldn't have the support we wanted in order to do that. I feel like it's the kind of job I would need to keep at least for a couple of years, and the longer we wait the harder it will be to move. But then I think about how hard it is to find jobs today, and can I really pass up this opportunity? DH really wants me to apply for it, which leads me to believe he's not as on board with the move as he claims to be.
So basically my head and my heart are at odds on this one. Would you apply for this job or let it go and focus on moving?
Re: Would you apply for this job?
If you got the job, would you feel obligated to accept it because of your DH's boss helped you to get it? If it wasn't for that potential aspect, I would say to apply and really see what the job is all about and what the offer is before deciding. Tough call though and you are probably the only one who can truly make the decision.
Good luck
