Got promoted but it means more travel - conflicted
Just got offered a senior role at work with a 25% raise. The catch is I'd need to travel maybe 15-20% of the month. My kids are 6 and 4. We could really use the money and it's good for my career but I just got back from parental leave and things are finally feeling stable at home. Is it crazy to turn this down or am I supposed to be ambitious and make sacrifices?
Congrats on the promotion, that's huge. But real talk, 15-20% travel with a 6 and 4 year old is something to think hard about. I vacuum daily just to feel like I have some control at home, and I can tell you the little moments matter.
