KEY POINTS

You’ve landed your dream job, but it means relocating across the country, leaving your family behind.

It’s a common struggle: pursuing career goals while prioritizing loved ones.

Patricia Wu and Rabbi Gaines offers insights: A true “dream job” aligns with your family’s happiness and well-being. Uprooting them might not be the dream you envisioned.

Consider alternative solutions like remote work or weekend trips.

Prioritize open communication with your partner and children. If the job truly aligns with your family’s values, explore those options together.

Your family’s stability and happiness are essential. Don’t let a career move jeopardize their well-being. Redefine your “dream” to include those you love.
