Went through this exact situation and learned a lot. I went about it all wrong, very me, me, me focused. Looking back, I wish I brought it up BEFORE the opportunity arose, but either way, I would still ask their thoughts, let them think on it because it is a lot to process. And then discuss a day or two later and make it a group decision. What's most important to you? Career growth or a strong marriage where voices are heard?

You don’t have to drop the news like a bomb, ease them in. I kept it honest early on: “This came up, I’m curious, but I need to know what would make it work for us.” If there's even remote potential, use that to bridge the gap. I always research the place, area and share my results then I start talking about the possibility for a change and let him give his opnion.

I was 100% upfront about everything, as I believe should be the case. My wife had her reservations, which I ignored, so we moved halfway across the country. Two years later, I found myself looking for a new job, not long after buying a new house.

Here it is three years later, and we are still riding out the waves from that splash. Had I been more open to her point of view, things probably would have been smoother for both my career and our marriage.

Don't lie to yourself by saying that this decision has nothing to do with your spouse.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
