Hello 👋 I relocate last year to London to join Facebook, my wife is still in Spain she is working there and she would not like to relocate to London. I did a lot of sacrifices to be here it was my dream job but still she does not understand what working for Facebook means for a software engineer. We are trying to be together 1/3 of the time, we start having a lot of problems related to that and she starts talking about divorce. About money, our life did not change, I spend all my Facebook salary to cover rent in the two locations and travel and Covid tests coasts. I’m thinking about abandoning Facebook and returning home but I’m afraid to loose both my wife and my career. I’m feeling really bad, I’m so sad about this situation… TC 101/15/200 10 yoe
Do you really think moving back is going to resolve the marital issues ? I would be concerned that you quit your job, move back, and still get a divorce.
We are never sure and this is the problem :(
So what? It’s not like OP can never go back to FB (or any other tech company)
Leave Facebook. Leaving the wife seems like a slippery slope.
I thought opposite. Leave wife. Leaving job seems like slippery slope
It's honestly really sad that people would even consider their job over their supposed life partner. And I don't mean that sarcastically, it's honestly depressing. I hope you're fulfilled as much outside of work as you are at work. Life's too short to give away to some organization that quantifies your existence. And that's not a dig at Facebook but at choosing a corporation over your significant other.
lol, you are ignoring your family for a shitty company like Facebook 🤣
The question is not that simple, I’m doing that for my family too
Man, you should never put your work ahead of your family
Are you sure she wants a divorce just because you are staying apart?
I am not sure, the work is the biggest problem but not the only one.
With remote work, can't you move to Spain and work from there?
No option for working remotely?
Sorry about your situation but make sure to seek professional help. Here we are just trolls and TC chasers so you may not get the best help
Facebook now allows full time remote. Do that
There is only one FB. Think about that for a minute
there are many other great companies ... his wife is unique. you can change jobs with less impact and effort than you can change spouses

I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.

There’s more to life than just work.
I will feel more bad if I return home then we divorce
Then you probably don’t love her as much as you think you do
