A pal was simply telling me that she and her husband take activates searching for raises and new job alternatives (or any massive profession modifications!) — and I assumed that was actually intelligent, and one thing we have by no means mentioned right here. So let’s focus on: how do you steadiness your profession and your associate’s profession? Do you’re taking turns with regard to your careers? What tips do you typically comply with? Have you ever all the time executed that, or did you begin after youngsters?

(On the flip facet, does anybody wish to share tales about how one profession has taken the lead in your relationship, whether or not yours or your associate’s, and the way that has appeared? I believe there are apparent issues that folks consider — shifting (significantly for jobs in academia!), leaning out or leaving to remain residence with the children — however what are the much less apparent methods?)

It hasn’t actually been a difficulty in my marriage (we have each been in our present gigs for a very long time!) — however as my pal was describing it it sounded nice.
