Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but didn't know where else to put it!
DH is away working this week in US. He got asked to consider working in the US on a permanent basis doing a different job to his current one.
Good pay (substantial amount more than he currently earns) and a decent re-location package.
The thing is he is happy doing the job that he is already doing and its about to take off globally, he will soon start to have more people work for him and gradually over the next 2 yrs he will earn the kind of money that he has been offered for the other job. Plus there is also a strong possibility that he could end up in the US anyway (but not for about 2 yrs!) Also this job has good prospects.
The crunch being -
Does DH take the job in the US now and have the money and life style but not the prospects etc.... And keep his fingers crossed he carries on moving up the ladder.
OR
Does DH wait and see what the job he is currently doing has to offer.
Obviously there are no guarantees that his current job will pan out how he would like/hope to but equally its a huge step/gamble to up sticks and move to the US.
We have 3DC - 16, 12 and 10 ~ they are really excited at the thought of a move etc... so at the moment thats not a problem.
