Which would you choose?
Option 2.

I must deal with the "two-body problem". If I relocate for a new job, my husband must initiate a job search in the new city, and vice versa. Or my new job location might be in another country, where I could get a work visa but my husband could only get a spouse visa that would not permit him to work. DH and I did face this choice, with the scenario being his relocating to the Netherlands, and we turned down the opportunity because it would mean either an LDR or the end of my career.

I work to live. I don't live to work.
