Not sure where to post this!

I’ve been headhunted for my dream job. I’d love it, decent pay rise, good relocation package.

My dilemma is that I can’t move for 12 months because DC is in the last year of A levels. Single parent.

DC has had a couple of rough years but back on an even keel, doing well. Discharged from CAHMS recently.

I’d love the job, it’s a three hour drive away (mostly office based).

I could offer to do three days in the office including one overnight stay. This would mean that after tax, pension and travel I’d only be £400 a month better off so I’m not necessarily doing it for the money. If they don’t like my offer that’s ok, I’ll just stay where I am for now.

My dilemma is DC, would you leave them at home alone overnight one night a week, not worried about parties, drinking, sex. Just them feeling abandoned/lonely as they’ve needed a lot of support in recent years.

Really torn - DC is my absolute priority but they could leave home in 12 months and this job is the sort of job I could do really well until I retire.
