Do you have to work in your partner's business?

If your partner has a company and wants you to work for him or her leaving your current job, do you think it would be the right thing to do? Of course the answer is very personal and depends on other factors of your relationship, as well as goals in professional terms.

Here are some "For" and "Against" judgments, the decision is up to you:

Pro:

- You will be able to spend more time with each other.
- The results would also show the potential of the partner, thus creating an even stronger idea for a future together.
- Contribute to the common good: in growing the business that brings in the most revenue.
- Convenient schedules for both, being the simplest organization of the day.

Against:

- You will spend more time than you should with each other and many couples see this as an impossibility for independence and space.
- Uncertainty about the workplace in case the relationship does not go as intended.
- A kind of "career interruption" is created because working with a partner does not have the hierarchy and responsibility of an unknown employer (say).

"Well, it's too late now that I accepted the offer"

Agree, if you have decided so, here are the tips given for this case, so that your career continues to grow, so as not to jeopardize either the relationship or the job:

 Make sure the job position is clear, fits your experience / knowledge, and that you are legally registered in that business.
- Make sure your salary is similar to that of the market for that job position.
- Consider this employment the same as with an employer you do not know, both parties sign the employment contract, specify well your responsibilities and role.

After all, communication is the key to any healthy relationship, if you talk honestly everything in advance (dissatisfaction, expectations, any concerns) you will be able to find the common good.
