[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good friend is married to the CFO of a huge international company, he took this job within the last year.  They already were living in DMV so my friend and the kids stayed here and they bought a condo in the other city where the job is based and he flies out Monday to Thursday/ Friday. She no longer works, stays at home with the kids.  They live in a huge $4 million house, go on super nice vacations, have nice cars, kids in private, etc.  their life looks super luxurious,

However, the kids are struggling with the father being gone constantly, and my friend and her husband are fighting, even in public, on the weekends when they are together, over anything and nothing.  He is basically on call 24/7. He has a driver wherever he is because he needs to be able to answer emails or speak on the phone at any time.  He is glued to his iPhone.  He misses everything important at school because he’s is another state all week long.  My friend is very devoted to the kids and is a nice person and good mom but she’s losing it.  All the money in the world isn’t worth this arrangement, it isn’t sustainable.  I wouldn’t want to trade places.[/quote]

Im just an lowly IT pro....on call 7x24....anywhere.  When i go overseas on vacation, my company gives me a wireless hot spot with a global data plan.... [/quote]
