In Reply To: And here grms5yr is where I will vehemently disagree with you. Basic risk management principles apply to job search/acceptance. When you have a family - children, ties to the community, etc...Taking an unnecessary risk can be quite damaging in multiple ways. If the individual in question only had one option, then I would agree with you. In this case, they appear to have multiple options. Weighing some basic information, I would say that PWC is not the best choice for this person at this time. Does that make PWC less attractive to them and others? Of course not. Maybe in 3-5 years, circumstances will change. PWC is not the end all, be all. Being independently wealthy, healthy, and wise is the end all be all.
Message: will vehemently disagree with YOU. I've rarely heard of anyone damaging their family much less their ties to the community simply by taking a job that did not work out!! Like you yourself said, this person appears to have lots of options; those won't go away if pwc doesn't work out, they will still be there, so why not give it a try? Life is all about taking risks and refusing to move out of your comfort zone is at least one common recipe for unhappiness.
