Wedding: September 2012

I’m not all that happy in my job, so I’ve been casually looking. I found a job that sounds perfect, and I applied. They said they were impressed by my resume, and I’m moving on to the next step.

Here’s the thing – if I get it, it’s in this general area (NOVA/metro DC). However, DH and I have been tossing around the idea of leaving this area this fall when our lease is up, if we can find jobs in a different area. If I get this job, I don’t want to leave so quickly – it really seems like a great fit for me – but I don’t want to hold DH back either, and there isn’t room for him to grow in his current job.

I know this all speculation, but I’m really struggling with it. On the off chance I get the job, I can’t imagine turning it down.

Any advice? Experience? Common sense?

@LadyBear: I’d say that you should probably wait until you get it, and if you do, talk to your DH about it. Maybe DH can find another job with a company that has offices somewhere you’d like to live later, so that he can get a transfer and this way one of you is set up for the move. If you present it to him that way he might agree, no?
