Abstract
A 40-year-old mother of three children is considering a job change. She must decide whether she should take a high-paying, challenging job with a consulting firm, which also involves a move to another city and trying to maintain a 'long-distance' marriage, or stay in a less-challenging, lower- paying job with limited prospects for advancement. She must consider the issues of 'person-job' fit as well as practical issues involving women in management, dual career families, and human resource practices and policies. This case is intended to be used in tandem with case 9A89C023, 'Jack Jerome', which presents the same situation from a male's perspective.
