When couples navigate job searching with different salary expectations

My husband and I both got laid off and we're job searching together but he keeps applying for positions at his previous salary level while I'm thinking we should both be more flexible and it's creating tension about who's being realistic versus who's giving up.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Economic pressure is revealing different relationships to compromise and self-advocacy, turning practical job search decisions into deeper questions about worth and strategy.
