Should I choose a job or a wife?

Thread Content

I graduated in 2008 and switched to my current job last year; it’s a design firm. I really like working in design, but my salary here is a bit low – it’s not even as high as what I earned in my previous job. However, I heard from the employees here that they get quite a substantial amount of money at the end of the year, but it takes at least two years before their salary increases! My wife also works at a design firm now; their company is more formal than ours, and the benefits there are better than those here! But the two cities are too far apart. Before the New Year, my company’s management told me that they wanted my wife to come work at our company as well – firstly because the company is busy and there’s a shortage of staff, and secondly to resolve the issue related to our branches in those two locations! There’s another issue: my wife and I both work in the craft industry, and if she comes too, we’ll be in the same office! Mainly, I think her current workplace is great, and she doesn’t want to give it up! There’s a small design firm in her city – it’s quite tiny, with only about a dozen people. They want me to go there, but I guess the salary won’t be high! If it’s decided after the New Year that she isn’t allowed to resign, then I’ll have no choice but to go there! I’ve been worried about this issue every day; I don’t know what to do! Friends, please share some suggestions! ! Thanks, bro!
