I stopped looking for a job since DH was applying out of states. He got turned down for one of the jobs, but two interviews with another. Then- dead silence. It's been over a month since his first interview now and needless to say, he's not feeling very optimistic. He's still looking, but we have no idea how long it will take- maybe a month, maybe a year. And while this is going on, I am just getting more and more resentful at my current employer.
Before I had stopped looking, I gave my resume to a recruiter and explained to her the place we were at with DH looking out of state. I didn't hear from her for a number of weeks. Last Thursday, DH told me I may want to start looking for a new job in Phoenix because of the lack of progress from his search. Later that day, I got an email from someone at another agency in town asking to set up a phone interview. This Friday, I was sent an offer. It's a good move. I won't be making more on paper, but with increased benefits and bonuses I'll be making another 5-10K and I'll get the title I want. Additionally, I'll be working for people who have more respect for what I do and clients who care about it more. And I'll be working for a company that seems to legitimately care about their employees- something my current place sorely lacks.
So first thing Tuesday, I plan on giving notice at my current job. I'm super excited but now I don't want DH to get a job out of state, at least not for a while, because I don't want to start this job and then relocate a few months later. They do have some employees working remotely, so I may not have to leave the position if we move, but I would still feel bad about doing so. My concern is if I stay where I'm at and he does not find a job, I stay miserable and miss a good opportunity. And I don't want the unknown of what may or may not happen with his career hold me back today.
Do you think it is OK for me to take this job while DH looks out of state?
