[quote=Anonymous]My son is 2.5. I am up for a job that would be an excellent career move for me long-term, but that would likely require more travel than my current position. In hindsight, I wish I had made a move like this sooner so that I could have paid my dues in the job when my son was baby and have more flexibility with respect to my travel schedule now that he's old enough to miss me. I think a move to a position that requires more travel is inevitable if I'm going to advance in my career, so I'm really just trying to figure out when the best time would be to take on such a move. I can't wait ten years until he's in middle school, so the question is whether it's better to be away when he's a preschooler or young elementary schooler. I don't anticipate that the travel would be more than a few days a month, and his dad has a really flexible job that enables him to pick up the slack. Opinions? Any tips from veteran traveling parents?[/quote]
