Career transfer....relationship in the balance...?

Question

Okay...

So, I'm a business developer and I am in need of some specific experience before I have a leg to stand on to secure capital in expanding my business.

So...my current employer is offering me a transfer 800 miles away for the exact experience I need for my business.  To go, in addition to the opportunity, I am receiving $27,000 more in pay.

I think my potential fiancé will be split 50/50 on going with me.  When do I tell her? I don't want to cause an uproar before officially getting the job...but I want her to have time to think about it.

Tell her right away. Let her know exactly what is going on in your life. That way you both can discuss what is going on. You both can determine what is the right decision. As you would make other decisions in your life this is the same way. You want to have her involved because you love her and you want her to be happy. The sooner she knows the more easily she will be able to adjust to the idea and decide whether she can go with you based on her job, day-to-day life, etc.  Communication is the key here even if you aren't certain you are going to get the job.
