Reply to comment by customdumbo in Worth looking for a higher paying job? by pookiewook

I am the wife, we both had in person jobs in NYC, but in 2018 my husband’s company asked if anyone wanted to go remote. He had been there for 11 years and everything he does is computer based. He volunteered (we were looking to get out of the city, our daughter was 9mo old then). When I told my small company I was leaving because we were moving several states away the owner asked if I wanted to work remotely. That was almost 5 years ago.

My husband works in e-learning/training for a large hospital group, I wear many hats for a small lighting manufacturing company. We both have niche careers.

What makes your husband think he knows so much about your career options and earning potential? He works for a much larger organization, of course there is more money available for him and others in his profession.

You have found a unicorn job-a small business that pays well, treats you good and is flexible. If you decided to be a road dog, husband will have to pick up the slack with the kids.
