I've been on the road nonstop for months, and I'm getting burned out. My family is frustrated, and I don't blame them. But I'm worried that if I complain about the travel, they'll give the good projects to someone else. If you've been in this situation, how did you address it with your boss?

May be request a cadence of non-travel week every x number of weeks. Make the most of your time with your family. Take time off from time to time and be present for your family. Set boundaries.

These are what I did when I was traveling globally for a project. Good projects make a difference in your career but not at the expense of your health and family.

I have an urgent situation that I need advice for: what job to take? I currently have 2 job offers.
