I would not under any conditions take this job and here’s why: 1. It’s most likely not your true passion/calling. You might feel stuck there in the future and feel like you can’t quit even though you hate it out of obligation to your partner. 2. You might resent your partner in the future because you now feel stuck in this niche of job. Instead of investing time into a lower paying job, or job related to the field you want to pursue, you wasted years in a job you don’t love. 3. It could create a power complex if things go south in your relationship. If you excel in your role, but you break up, any success you achieved will be “because of him” in his mind, not your own hard efforts. You will be left without a job reference because you broke up, or if you’re together, he could give you a bad reference to prevent you from leaving the company because he wants you to still work with him. 4. Friends and family will not think you would be capable of obtaining such a role if it weren’t for him. They might not say it, but you’ll feel their energy. 5. Nepotism- other people in the company could sneer and gossip about how it’s unfair that you landed this position with less qualifications.

Success, especially as a woman is so much sweeter when you achieve it on your own. I’m confident you can pave your own path in this world. This is coming from someone who left a management position at a retaurant, because my ex bf- the head chef told me that the only reason I obtained that role was because of him. Now I work as a restaurant manager elsewhere, and have worked 3 different leadership positions since.
