Been working remote for 4 years but got offered a job with 2X comp but it requires travel. A bit nervous if it’s worth it given I’ll be away from my partner, money would be good but the relationship is most important.

Thoughts from people who experienced similar?

Now that I’m remote, and I see what my life is like, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to heavy travel work. I love my life now with my family and I know for sure travel would require sacrificing time with them. That’s not a trade off I’m willing to make anymore. Will just work harder to find opportunities that allow me to be remote.

Do you have kids or just spouse?

Depends. A person like me loves to travel and see new places.I’m a family person with fantastic relationship with my spouse ajd 2 daughters.

Plus it gives me opportunity to fly business and enjoy lunch and dinner at lavish restaurants at company expenses plus handsome out-of-pocket expenses!

I bring back small gifts for my spouse and kids after every trip and they have never complained about my business for past 22 years :-)

It depends on your current income and that of your partner. What is your salary now and what could it be?
