[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are both federal employees. I have been misersble in my job all year but managing to avoid being laid off. DH still loves his job. We have one son who is in seventh grade.

I just got an offer for my absolute dream job - it is very secure and pays about 20% more than I currently make. Problem is that the job is halfway across the country in a town where DH would have trouble finding a job easily. If he did, it would be less money and not as good as his current job.

The way I see it, I have three options:

1. Decline the job offer and remain miserable as a fed, hoping things might change.

2. Take the job offer and we all move. Not having DH’s salary immediately would be a financial hit but housing is much cheaper in the new city so we probably could afford to purchase a house with no mortgage.

3. Take the job offer and only I move. DH stays in DC with son (who likes his school). The new job allows partial telecommuting so I could be back in DC most weeks from Friday-Monday.
