I've been with my FH for 5 years total and out of that time, the last 2 years have been semi long distance (100 miles). Mind you, before COVID, I saw him every weekend and since March I see him nearly everyday since we are both working remotely. I applied and interviwed for a job in my FH'S city...
I've been with my FH for 5 years total and out of that time, the last 2 years have been semi long distance (100 miles). Mind you, before COVID, I saw him every weekend and since March I see him nearly everyday since we are both working remotely.

I applied and interviwed for a job in my FH'S city back in June.
I received a promotion in August at my job.I just now received an offer for the position in my FH's city. The issue is the compensation is $10,000 less per year than my current position. This position is working from home until further notice with COVID.
If you were in my position, would you take it? Or would you decine and continue to enjoy working remotely seeing your future spouse ofen and continue looking for same pay work from home positions based out of FH's city?

    What are the long term WFH prospects at your current company? Since you got promoted it seems that they think highly of you. That could be a win-win.

    We Will definitely be wfh for the next 30 days; but it's tentative until then. My employer owns the building our office is in so we are more likely to go into work eventually compared to organizatiins that lease buildings.

    If I were you, I would choose relationship over money. I was in a different, but similar situation. I have been with my fiancé for 5 years. We were long distance (1500 miles) since the beginning. When I first met him, he was in still in school and I was working in my home state. We only saw each other maybe every other month if we are lucky. Anyway, 5 years later, I chose to move to where he found a job. I gave up my wonderful good paying job because I believe money can’t buy love. He’s more important to me than money. I can always find another job, but I can’t find another person as amazing as he is. We just got married over the weekend. Good luck! Smiley smile
