Today, people tend to meet their spouse or domestic partner at school or at work. High achievers tend to pair with other high achievers, often in similar fields. This leads to couples in which both individuals are strongly motivated to have successful careers. What happens when they become parents or when one--or both--individuals need to consider relocating for their job? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany mid-career, college-educated people, especially women as well as undergraduate and graduate students, are concerned about developing a plan to mesh their career with a partner and are seeking guidance. This book offers a gender-neutral guide for 21st-century couples that will benefit men as much as women. The author provides career-management guidance for people in dual-career relationships in which both parties are ambitiously attempting to pursue equally important, high-powered careers, presenting examples of alternative solutions and arguing that many \"women's issues\"--including parenting and limited geographic mobility--are more appropriately managed in a gender-neutral way as dual-career couple issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders will understand how to make better decisions regarding difficult situations, such as whether to accept an opportunity that adversely impacts their personal lives, choosing to take a leave of absence or to quit, investing a large amount of one person's salary for domestic assistance and childcare, taking paternity leave, and leveraging flexible work arrangements--for example, telecommuting.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEve Sprunt\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is a consultant with more than 35 years of experience as an executive and research scientist in the petroleum industry, including leading Chevron's worldwide university recruiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.4 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 02, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52484365549875,"sku":"9781440850097","price":111.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/gnxvA1syUf9781440850097.webp?v=1759791304","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-guide-for-dual-career-couples-rewriting-the-rules-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
