If given an opportunity to further your career - which may be an uphill battle and require time and effort, vs. getting married and continuuing on with your current job line - where you’re making enough for what you need , but maybe your job satisfaction isn’t high…

Which way would you chose?

Keep climbing the corporate ladder which may involve moving around, travels, all of which your fiance can’t manage? Or get married, and stop being ambitious for a while, so you can be with your husband and make a family?

PCG, my sister, like you, is doing her residency in the States. She faces similar dilemmas as you with marriage proposals. She would have liked to do a fellowship, but in her case it would have meant another few years of uncertainty as to her whereabouts and difficulty in finding suitable proposals who would be willing to relocate for her sake. In the end, my sis decided family is more important than career advancement. Like ghostie said, what good is a million bucks at the expense of relationships!
I work in the financial sector. I have a stable career where I live now, but if I were to get a potentially great proposal which would entail relocating and minor career setbacks, I would definitely go for the guy. It’s harder to find a good guy than it is to find a satisfying job.
