Would you take a job which involves alot of travelling?
Discussion
Hi,
I have got a job offer from one of IT company but I haven’t made a final decision. This role involves a UK and International travelling, maximum one week to four week away from home at one time. So basically I will be travelling to client site for requirement gathering and then doing the software development from home.
I have got a family and two kids under age 6, just wondering that it would be too much staying away from a family for 4 weeks.
They are paying good money though and I can live anywhere in UK as it is a home based job with travelling to client sites.
Would you take a job which involves alot of travelling and then staying away from home for 2-4 weeks?

I really appreciate everyone’s reply. Thank you for that.
I have found out bit more on traveling and it will be like 3-4 weeks away (on trip) and 2-3 months working from home and so on.....
On one side i will be away from home for 3-4 weeks (i think i can bear 2 weeks not more than that) and on the other side i will be home for 2-3 months. Dont know if it balances everything.

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for your replies.
I have now got the confirmation from the hiring manager that one project normally last for about 3-6 months and i will have to do approx 3-4 trips to the client site in 3-6 months. Duration of one trip would be approx 4 days. I will be part of EMEA (Europe Middle East Africa) team so most of my trips would be in Europe.
I think 3-4 trips not really bad as long as it doesn’t exceed to over 7 days.
