My family and I have been looking to move to an island. My spouse works remote and can relocate at any time. My firm has an office on said island, but they don’t pay me enough to live there. I would have to ask for a raise and to be relocated. I love my firm and the Partners that I work for, but I’m thinking of applying to other places that offer a more livable salary for the location. Would you just talk to the Partners at your current firm or look elsewhere?

I love how cryptic this is: "an island" That could be so many somewheres lol. Singapore! The UK! Manhattan! Malta maybe? Key West IDK. The Caymans ooohhh this is a fun game.

That made me lol.... I’m not trying to be cryptic, I just don’t believe that info is necessary for the advice that I’m seeking 🤔

You can give me one solid reason as to why wouldn’t you try to talk to the partners first?

I re read the post and see that the OP wants to relocate to the firm’s office on the island. So my bad. I’m the one getting confused with remote work because of what she said about the husband.
