[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just apply. If you get it you can evaluate all options including moving.

FWIW an elementary kid’s education is not a reason to stay put. [/quote]

This. It would be best to move while your kid is in elementary school. [/quote]

Agree. Your DD is in a good program, but there are many other good programs (Scarsdale, Bronxville, Rye in NY; Westport, Ridgefield, Greenwich, Darien, New Caanan in CT; and Princeton and Ridgefield in NJ…Probably missing a bunch). A piano teacher is definitely not a reason to stay…Moving when your child is young is much easier for you and them then moving when they are older.

If this all moves forward you should be realistic about the fact you are not planning on moving too, so no one is under the impression it’s a temporary thing. But also be prepared to miss a lot of meetings and events and to miss out on promotion opportunities because you’re not in the office.

As someone who did a super commute of my own (2 hours each way 5 days a week) prior to having children, I can say it was brutal for me. As a parent, and granted I have three kids and two are younger than your DD, I would also struggle to be away that much and would worry my spouse or child might resent me. [/quote]
