Would ya’ll take a near 100% travel job for an 80% pay bump?

No

Domestic travel? Home weekends?

CBaass

Yes

NonmormonYfan89

6:24pm

I’ve done it, didn’t mind the travel. I actually enjoyed it

CBaass

That’s my one hesitation. I have a one year old boy, but man

Not worth it. You won't get that time back with your child.

OrsoNero

Did it ~2 years ago. Got a 70% pay bump. Quit after 8 months, wasn't worth it.

delux_247

Means you only got a 13% pay bump.

If single, maybe…. Otherwise, nope.

6:24pm

Maybe even if married with no kids, but with kids, no way

7:11pm

Even if single it’s a bad idea

YOHONOMOTO

7:24pm

In your opinion, why?

NonmormonYfan89

7:34pm

Im not single but the as a member of the church don’t you want to get married?

TempeCoug

Uh…

CBaass

I married and have one kid anyways so 👀

NonmormonYfan89

9:40pm

Spouse? Young kids? Former, maybe. Latter, no.

6:25pm

Global? Probably. Domestic? Doubtful.

Tokolosh

6:27pm

Global would be more of draw for you? Interesting it would be less for me

NonmormonYfan89

6:28pm

Absolutely.

Tokolosh

6:36pm

That’s awesome! I love traveling the states lol. Traveling out of country that

NonmormonYfan89

Also, it can’t be sales. I’m not cut out for sales and wouldn’t survive that kind of role.

Tokolosh

Me either! I’m a biomedical tech. I currently work in a manufacturing setting.

NonmormonYfan89

Global travel sucks more by far.

Then your family might be one that can handle it

Monday to Friday? Or Monday to Thursday?

JohnnyComeLately

6:31pm

Monday through Thursday

NonmormonYfan89

6:45pm

I’d honestly consider that for sure

JohnnyComeLately

7:03pm

no, unless you can't get by at your current salary

6:32pm

Let me get my kids out of the house and my wife and I would be all over that.

Will it lead to better opportunities? If so, how long?

Cougar Jazz Fan

I think so. I think it’d only be real real travel heavy for 2 years tops.

NonmormonYfan89

6:46pm

Sounds like a great gig for someone who hates spending time with their family.

6:58pm

Coincidentally, it’d give me more time with them than I have now. I work nights.

NonmormonYfan89

7:06pm

Go for it then.

Week on, week off isn’t the worst schedule in the world. Anything

Would it be possible to get a companion pass and have your wife and 1 year old

7:14pm

Yes, this would definitely be doable some times.

NonmormonYfan89

7:20pm

Well if that’s an option, and your wife would like to travel, then I don’t see

I know a couple of people that have done this. All divorced within two years.

Welll then!

NonmormonYfan89

7:21pm

I used to do traveling sales and know dozens of guys who did it for 10 plus. Only 1 or 2 got divorced.

Yes, everything is about your last salary. Even if you do it for 6-12 months,

TepperCoug

Interesting perspective no one has shared yet I will consider this! Thank you!

NonmormonYfan89

7:34pm

What type of travel? And where to?

bald man

7:34pm

Just around the states, to hospitals mostly. M-T

NonmormonYfan89

7:41pm

My kids are older now, so I’d consider it for that kind of money. Especially

Japan Coug

7:56pm

Nope

8:20pm

I currently travel 50% of the time and I have younger and older kids. No way

TempeCoug

100% Travel is brutal, even home weekends. My job is about 50-60% overnight and
