Pickled I am Canadian, DH is Australian and job is in Perth (his home city). WE've lived there before, so I know it a bit. It would definitely be a step down for me career wise but I can't let DH say no to this job, it's that good. Perth is not my most favorite place but the deal is we would try to move within 2 years. HOwever DH has always wanted to go back, it is his dream place, but our deal was that we would never go back...and then this job came up.
DH's family are there but a mixed blessing, very nice people but exhausting and high maintenance. To be honest if they didn't live there I would be less stressed about it. We have made a deal that if this comes off we are going to live quite far away from them to discourage random dropping in. It sounds childish but I think my parents are a million times better with my kids, I don't like the way the inlaws interact with them, and it makes me jealous and a bit sad that the AUs grandparents will have so much contact with them. (NB: They are just irritating and have very different ideas about children from me, not dangerous!).
It's a pickle, really. My colleagues will think I have lost my mind if/when I resign.
