[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse was let go last week. They already got a new offer through their network. Pay is the same - $220k - but requires a mandatory quarterly travel to Spain and ad hoc travel within the US. They report to the company’s CEO. Tech sector.

I want to be a supportive partner and not criticize BUT it seems to be not enough $ given the amount of travel is expected. Or am I unrealistic?

We have 2 young kids and I am terrified to be left alone with them once he goes away that often.

They said they would need to take it because the job market is not okay. I am not saying it’s okay but if one reports to CEO and is expected to be available at their every ask, shouldn’t the salary be at least in 300s?

You [b]sound like a troll. That's my reality check.

You are "terrified" of being left alone with your kids? Come on. Are the kids not in FT daycare or school since I'm assuming you work FT? I agree this will be a bigger load on you, but put some routines in place, allow things to slide a little, and deal.

A salary in the $200s is nothing to sneeze at or take for granted.[/quote]

I think OP must be a man. 🤷🙃[/quote]
