I'll try to keep this quick: We have been moved overseas for DH's job. Routine in his field, happens every two-three years. We plan to move back to UK after this job as want to stop moving while DD (4) and DS (2) still smallish.
However, weeks into new job, my old firm has contacted me to tell me about a mat leave post that is well suited to me. If we took it, we would be liable for paying back costs of move, which would be at least 5,000-7,000, although DH thinks we could argue our way out of it. But it would still be a significant hit even if we didn't have to pay it - he earns more than me - and if we did it's a good chunk of savings. We would also be pissing his firm off, and screwing his colleagues over. But he wants to leave anyway and while I'm uncomfortable with it, we feel like happiness long-term of our family is more important than workload of his colleagues while they rehire.
Job is only maternity leave but is rare thing in field and would put us - especially me - in better position to find permanent work afterwards in UK, as we want to eventually. I also feel like it's my turn. Would you apply? I don't really want to apply unless I would take it if offered.
Thanks!
