She's an assistant manager for a high end retail store. They're getting rid of the ASM position, company wide

She'll still be a supervisor, but demoted to part time, loses her benefits, etc.

However, they offered her a store manager position at the busiest store in the country.

Offering over double her current salary, 30k to 75k. Full time with benefits obviously, time and a half on sundays.

Cost of living is astronomically high there. One of the highest in the country.

I don't want to leave my friends and family. Just bought a house last year.

So she goes from an assistant (to the) store manager to the manager of their biggest store? That makes no sense.

Nah I get that. Just find it weird that they are promoting someone to the head position of their biggest store who has never done that job.

Granted AGM's and GM's do a lot of the same shit. And she probably does have the experience to do it. Just seems weird is all.

I guess. I mean right now it feels like she's constantly picking up the slack of her current store manager. Their district manager just really likes my gf. They're offering her $2500 to move and everything.

We've been together for 4 years, have 5 pets together, so this is a pretty big decision.

I don't want her to feel like she's missing out on a huge opportunity, or that I'm holding her back. I just can't move.

Gonna be a tough decision then. I regularly think about up and moving somewhere new but I won't do it while my parents are alive.

That's what I keep telling her. They have the highest min wage in the country, next to D.C., so it has to be a huge cost of living increase. We might be slightly better off, but it isn't worth leaving everything behind.

We just hit 4 years.

It's just to cover the cost of living. Her boss at her current store (the position she's been offered, in a different store), only makes like 40k.

I feel she could have negotiated better pay raise or compensation for movement to a higher CoL area.

But then again they could tell her no and keep her part time.

As for you... 4 years and 5 pets. That'd be a rough break up. But dont do long distance. It never works

Good luck on making a decision, TC. Similarish thing happened to me... wasn't quite the huge jump in pay for my wife but pretty substantial. She opted not to take it, but we'll always wonder if that was a good idea or not...

I don't remember, are you doing software development work? Even with cost of living, you should be making more. I had to jump ship multiple times early in my career in order to achieve the salary I have now, then I aggressively pursue raises at my current company, though I could very well jump ship again. It's good to interview at other places just in case, even if just to keep your resume and interviewing skills polished. The best time to interview for a job is when you already have a job, then you have less pressure to accept their off and can maximize your demands or feel free to leave without any problems.

I dunno how these things work exactly but, I mean, my friend who is a store manager for KFC in a suburb of Little Rock, Arkansas makes over 40k a year and I suspect he will be making much more soon enough since he just started

Kind of seems really low to me for a high end retail place, but maybe not. The KFC franchise owner also owns a real, higher scale restaurant but the manager for that establishment doesn't make any more than the KFC manager does

I'm not knocking anyone who does long distance, it just isn't for me. I can afford to travel up to MA every few months either.

Life's too short to be dating someone you can't even touch, imo. As selfish as that sounds. That's just not the kind of relationship I want.

She told her boss she needs more time to decide... better start looking for a roommate.

Oh I'm guessing around 60k then. Four year degree and experience should be able to get you moer though. What certs do you have?

salary increase looks good on paper until you bring in CoL

then it's actually not very much. and it'll cost her a decent-length relationship on top of it.

doesn't sound worth it imo. but if it's worth it for her, might as well start saying goodbye.

4-5 years is long enough that you should be making life decisions around that person. Within reason, sure, but youre already on track to spending the rest of your life with them, so breaking up like a first year couple seems pretty ridiculous and selfish to me

it's honestly a pretty simple situation, if you want & forsee a future with this girl then you move (or do long distance while you job hunt for a new role in that area), if you dont then you break up now and let her move on with her life/career.

and to the ppl knocking a 75k/yr salary - besides maybe the bay area, where is this considered not a pretty good salary? even somewhere like manhattan you can live comfortably if you are smart with your finances

I'm just not interested in moving, at all. I live 5 minutes from work. All of my friends live within 10 minutes. Family is very close too. We bought our house last June, still have some projects in progress, etc. I'm happy with life, and where I'm at.

I do see a future with her. I told her awhile back that I was planning on proposing soon after I pay our fence off. Just can't afford a ring right now.

I'm not sure what to do. Just gotta wait and see what she decides.

You really should move man. With her salary doubling, youll have time to find something in then meantime...just make sure you guys dont try living above your means.

If you dont move with her, in a year, youll see shes super successful, happy, living in a nice house, pregnant with a little boy, and some asshole that should be youtrust me on this one...stay with the girl, and try to make it work.

Chances are she would move for you...
