$$ vs. morals

Dear Prudence,
In January, I took a job working for a small international office of a state-owned Russian corporation. I love the job, which is rewarding, interesting, and extremely well-paid, and I enjoy travelling several times a year to Russia as part of the role. However, my wife and I are watching events in the Ukraine with increasing concern. She said to me the other day that she was uncomfortable with my working for the Russians and would like me to consider quitting and moving to another company. There are plenty of other jobs, but I’m unlikely to find one as well paid. My wife is newly pregnant and planning to stop working for a while in a few months. Nonetheless, I understand her sentiment and have been worrying about this myself recently. What’s your advice?

Re: $$ vs. morals

  • is it $ vs. morals or $ vs. safety though? (or both)

    Just because I'd weigh 'em differently.
  • ...as if the whole Ukraine debacle is the first shady thing that the Russian government has done... 

    If he was that bothered by the situation, I think he would at least be searching for something else or willing to take a pay cut to move to another company. (Or his wife would consider returning to work sooner post-baby to help make up the difference.)
