Honestly, I resent that and wish she would not weigh in, since I feel the "voice of reason" perspective is already covered elsewhere. Maybe it’s all moot, since you want the job and you’re legally single so you take the pay cut. But since something is under your skin about it all, it’s probably worth at least a hard look first — to satisfy yourself, not your girlfriend. That way you’ll either get something more substantial to think about, or you’ll get confirmation that your girlfriend is not really on this journey with you. Do think three times because you need to realize not every moment at work can be meaningful and perfect.
