Would you take a job for $400,000 a year if it meant living in a country you didn't want to live in?

One of my girlfriends recently was offered a position at a law firm for $400,000 a year exlcuding a bonus but she needs to move to Russia. I care for her a lot, but I told her that an offer like that is hard to pass up and that she shouldn’t worry about me as I have two other relatively steady girlfriends so I’ll be fine for company. She is afraid because she doesn’t speak the language, heard the girls are super gorgeous, the men unattractive and not very caring and to take a job solely for the money goes against “her principals.” Not sure what she meant about the last bit, but I told her she used to say the same thing to me before we first had sex and that principals are malleable and change over time and she should just get on with it.

Anyone have any good ideas I could pass along to her? She is super smart, cool and I think ready to conquer Russia (professionally speaking). I am trying to encourage her to go, but I get the sense she doesn’t want to hear that. Perhaps some girls can weigh in on this–I must be missing something.

Answer #1

I probably wouldn’t because while I would get paid a lot, it wouldn’t mean that much to me, to go live in a country that I wouldn’t want to live in.

Answer #2

Personally - no … no amount of money can force me to feel happy where I don’t belong … perhaps she’s waiting for you to tell her where she belongs.

Answer #3

Okay well firstly, no i wouldn’t, id be very uncomfortable moving somewhere i had never been, couldn’t speak the language and on my own. It is alot of money so i can see why she should be considering it, its a hard offer to pass, it really depedns on how much she is currently making.One more thing wtf? why do u have three gf’s?

Answer #4

Hey Stefie,

Thanks for your insghtful response and funny that each of the responses suggest she not go to Russia. Not sure it would make a difference for you, but each of my three girflriends knows that I am dating two other girls so it is all above board. I am always completely honest about what I want and what I don’t want and many kind nice girls walk unwilling to share their boyfriend. I get it and am totally cool with their position as long as they are with mine.

Why do I need 3 girlfriends? Well, I don’t necessarily, but for the time being it has sort of worked out that way because I adore each of them and spending time with each of them. Why should I have to choose to be with just one of them if I like them all?

I imagine you may be wondering if I would be ok if they each had other boyfriends and the answer is yes. One already does have another boyfriend and I have met him and he is a good bloke so I have no complaints. The other two just want to be with me and don’t want another guy at least for now.

Answer #5

your welcome.

Answer #6

First off I think she is stupid to pass up on an offer like that for 400,000 dollars because you clearly dont give a rats @ss for her…shoving her off to some strange far away country she doesnt even know the language, the culture not to mention how things work there, just so you dont have to complicate your life anymore since you do have(as you clearly mentioned) 2 other women you are messing around with!

*

Either way I would tell her to go with her heart just to be rid of you! No offense, but you sound like the biggest jerk ever. At least dont lie about how you actually care about her in the process, you just want advice on how to get rid of her…Shame on you!

Answer #7

I’d rather not because I would feel uncomfortable

Answer #8

well in this case you should ask her what she wants, ask her if the language really affects her decision. tell her not to think about others tell her just to think what is the best thing for her!!

Answer #9

Yes. I’d take it. I’d love to live in a different country. It’s not forever. You go see how it is, give it a year. If you like it, you stay for a little longer. If you dont, you leave. Then again, I wouldn’t be dating someone like you. I am all for people being in open relationships. But the way you talk about her, you show absolutely no care or concern for her. You seem more interested in letting us all know that you’re with 3 women. She should take the job just to get away from you.

Answer #10

Hey temptress,

You got me all wrong but I gather whatever I write won’t change your mind. My life isn’t the least bit complicated as I am not messing around. I have three beautiful relationships with three beautiful people, each of whom knows of the others.

I am thinking this job offer through with her. As you rightly point out, the amount of money on the table is large, but the downsides are substantial as well. I want what’s best for her and, like many things, it’s a complicated tough decision.

Best of luck to you temptress in all of your endeavors.

Answer #11

Thanks for your candid response Ty. Looking back at my question, I did seem to emphasize (too much perhaps) that I am dating 3 women. Maybe it wasn’t as relevant to the question I posed as I made it out to be. That was a good spot by you and thanks for bringing it to my attention. You seem like a good lad albeit a bit angry. All the best.
