"I'm worried about the long-term stability" is a family reason (yes, I have a family that relies on my income), but I'd rather not say that to their face. As for your solution - I'm 90% certain that they will continue prying along the lines of "But why?" and if I give them some answer ("I like X better here") then they'll say that it's just as good at their place. | |

In fact, I very much hate lying, to the point I don't feel comfortable with people entrusting serious secrets to me. However I consider the responses above to be truthful, if deliberately incomplete. How I see it: The salary argument - well, as stated above, there is some point where the salary is large enough that going back just makes better sense than staying. I'm just not sure how large it is, and I'm worried of grossly misjudging that. [continued] | |
