Congratulations on the offer. Dialogue with your former employer and consider also o what the new offer takes

Yes I agree with comments about spending time with family. I almost hit a balance in life. MY kids where taught that work give the family money to do... what we want. I agree no one ever said " I wish I had spent less time with a loved ones" Good Luck figuring it out with balance in life. But think hard and don't let your ego drive the bus is only thing I suggest.  more

I haven't experienced this personally, but here are my thoughts.

I think it’s easy to look at what friends or colleagues are earning and feel like... you’ve fallen behind, but career success isn’t measured by salary alone. You made that decision because having more time with your family was important to you, and there’s real value in the time and experiences you gained over those two years.

That doesn’t mean you have to stay at the lower salary forever. If you’re ready for more professional or financial growth now, you can start exploring opportunities that provide it without necessarily giving up the balance you worked to create.

Sometimes a career decision isn’t about falling behind—it’s about choosing what matters most during a particular season of your life. more

I think there’s a difference between accepting greater responsibility in a senior role and being expected to be available 24/7.
Occasional... after-hours situations may come with leadership, but if nights and weekends have become the normal expectation, it’s reasonable to have a conversation about boundaries.

I’d approach your manager professionally and focus on expectations rather than simply saying you won’t respond. Ask what truly requires an immediate response after hours and what can reasonably wait until the next business day. That demonstrates commitment while also establishing some limits.

Being dedicated to your career shouldn’t require being constantly connected at the expense of your family and your own well-being.

Good boundaries aren’t a lack of commitment—they help make a demanding career sustainable. more

I'm assuming your career pays you a salary and not an hourly wage. If answering slack messages isn't listed as your duties and responsibility, then... boundaries have already been set by your organization for you.  more

This is one of those decisions where I don’t think the answer has to be simply the dream job or the relationship.
Traveling 2–3 weeks every month is... a significant lifestyle change, and even when a partner wants to be supportive, the reality of spending that much time apart can be difficult.

Before accepting, I’d have a very open conversation about what the travel would actually look like, how both of you feel about it, and whether there are ways to make it more manageable. I’d also find out whether the employer offers any flexibility with the travel schedule.

A dream job can be an incredible opportunity, but the people we share our success with matter too.

The best career opportunity is one that moves your professional life forward without unnecessarily sacrificing what matters most in your personal life. more

This happened to me and my husband when we first got married. It was so stressful. But we adjusted. But we protected weekends and maintained routines... with communication to make it easier. But I won't lie. It's tough. I travel a lot for my work. It bothers me more than it does my husband. But I found that it always works out. more

A 40% raise is certainly significant, but I think it’s important to look beyond the salary and consider the total cost of the opportunity. Two hours... of commuting every day could easily add up to 10 hours a week—time that you currently have for family, personal interests, or simply enjoying life.

I’d compare not only the additional income, but also commuting expenses, benefits, career growth, work environment, and how much you personally value the flexibility you have now. Sometimes a higher salary represents a genuine step forward; other times, once you factor in the time and lifestyle changes, the increase isn’t quite as large as it initially appears.

Compensation matters, but your time has value too—and unlike money, you can’t earn more of it. more

Money is not everything. I commuted 3 hours daily for 10 years. I had 2 hip replacements. Stay remote

Hey Guys: Ease up. He is already feeling bad. Shaming him is not helping him. Instead, give him advice on how to make it right. My suggestion is to... fess up and apologise. more

We all need greener pastures. So please let go off your fellow worker.

I don't think it is dishonest. It is the employer's responsibility to check into such matters.

AND I'm so sorry about your colleague and I think it's your fault in the first place you should not recommend your colleague for the job you already... know he or her been fired and I don't blame your colleague but I blame you because you are not honest to your Boss and you make your colleague fill bad. more

I used to be a supervisor for the state of Texas. I believe it's illegal to ask such questions. Do they ask the men similar questions? It could be... perceived as sexual discrimination. more

I don’t think you should have to “play along” with a question that has nothing to do with your qualifications or ability to perform the job. An... interview should focus on your experience, skills, availability, and what you can contribute to the organization.

While not getting the position is disappointing, the question may have also given you valuable insight into the company’s culture. Sometimes an interview isn’t just about whether they want to hire you—it’s also about deciding whether you want to work for them. more

I ones walked away from a toxic work environment. Best decision of my life. You did the right thing but then again there is always toxicity in the... work place. You should learn to grow a tough skin that's how you succeed. I'm rooting for you. more

Blessings to all of you. Working, having a job, be employed with a company does not give a superior the right to humiliate you.
I remember working in... hospital and a superior yelled at one of the staff. They then looked at me and stayed if I were an employee that I would be treated the same.
I looked at the superior in there eyes and said firmly you would never speak to me like that. I let the superior know if you ever have something to say to me you will take me in the office and talk to me. I then stated you will never yell at me. The superior could my seriousness, turned and walked away. I was contacted at that time. Not to long after I left. I trained some employees to take over.
I do not do toxic. It is better to have peace. Still today they are looking for me to come back. more

In 1999 I was offered my dream job but I would have to move from California to Florida. My mother was sick at the time. She told me to take the job... which meant I would have to move of course. I took the job and moved. My mother was so proud of me, and what i was doing. I was making more money so I could send back some of it to her to cover her bills. Did it suck to leave my sick mother, yes but seeing how proud she was that I finally made it was priceless. Still doing the job 26 years later.  more

That’s a difficult decision because there may not be a perfect answer.
I’d look beyond just the job itself and consider how much my parents currently... depend on me, whether other family or support systems are available, and whether the opportunity could provide enough flexibility to remain involved in their lives.

Dream opportunities can be rare, but time with the people we love is something we can’t get back either.
I’d try to find a solution that allows me to pursue the opportunity without completely sacrificing one for the other. Sometimes the best decision isn’t choosing between family and career—it’s figuring out whether there’s a way to honor both. more

I wouldn’t advise you taking that gamble with your child and mortgage at hand unless you’ve gotten other ways of survival.

I wouldn’t advise you taking that gamble with your child and mortgage at hand unless you’ve gotten other ways of survival.

You regularly did it knowing it was illegal to do it, in as much as others also do it. Are you that stupid to want to go down with everyone else when... you failed to keep your end of the situation? more

You said got caught key word so it’s clear you knew not to do said things , you can’t do what you see everyone else doing and then play victim when... caught move on and learn lesson and be more mindful on next job  more

Stick to your lane, there’s a reason they confided in you in the first place. They trusted you to keep your mouth shut.

If the relationship is purely something your coworker told you in confidence, and you have no evidence of favoritism, coercion, retaliation, or policy... violations, many people would choose not to insert themselves into a private relationship. more

Bounce, just leave without burning any bridges, everyone will eventually make peace with it.

That’s a tough one. I believe keeping your word matters, but I also think you have to make career decisions based on the entire opportunity—not just... the paycheck.
Compensation, growth potential, stability, culture, work-life balance, and long-term goals all deserve consideration.
If the new opportunity is clearly the better move, I’d have an honest conversation with my current employer and handle the departure professionally.
Loyalty is important, but ultimately, you have to take responsibility for your own career path. more

If your partner is complaining, it means it’s real. You can keep the job while doing your best to balance it with the relationship. You know best how.

The two can go while you partner is mature enough

don't share

Just as everybody has said ,pls prepare for the interview all round if you get excited tahat you have seen it and its for you then this may be atrap... for you and you will cry later.irest my case. more

Insecure women prefer control over men. Just have a boundary with your coworker but please keep the job. The marriage lasts as long as you provide,... stop working you will lose your wife  more

I agree with Bello Ibrahim Yusuf: ask your wife specifically what is making her uncomfortable. Requesting a transfer is an option, but trust me, no... job change will make an insecure partner feel secure.

Women make up a huge portion of today's workforce, and working in diverse teams is standard practice. Quitting won't solve anything—you'll end up working with women at your next job, too. Unless she expects you to stay home while she works (and she avoids male coworkers herself), running from the situation isn't realistic. There is Counciling more
