This. Your wife should be behind you if it will make you happy.
In my opinion, and it's always easier from the outside looking in, but this is a no brainer.
12 months, for all intent and purpose is nothing, it'll fly by. In terms of saving for a house, again, it's not the be all and end all. As others have said, your wife should be more supportive, especially where your happiness is concerned. What's the point in being in your own home, but not enjoying the day to day at work?
Go from a well paying job, that you don't enjoy, to one that you will enjoy and has the potential to earn more in the future? Again, total no brainer, you have to go for it.

This!
Sounds like she needs to sort her priorities out first before even considering buying a house with her.
Thanks guys. She means well but is understandably concerned with the drop in earnings compared to the current security of said earnings. I'm not defending her but her concerns are legit.
However, I am not a walk over and IF the potential recruiter can give me the assurance I require then it will be a fact rather than an option open to discussion. If she doesn't like it then other decisions will of course have to be considered.
On a side note, I very much appreciate the often thoughtful advice of many members on
this forum. Perspective is a hard thing to find without outside opinion.

Without them I would never have found out about the role, as I wasn't actively looking.
I appreciate they can find roles for people and some people might be happy with it.....but soooo many times I've seen them pull people out of secure jobs, put them in a new job with a higher salary (while also commanding their fees) and the company I worked for getting rid of them, as the total costs didn't warrant their initial performance...leaving them jobless...only winner there is the recruitment agent.
I must get 4 or 5 emails a day (usually through LinkedIn) with recruiters trying to get me a "new role"....just be wary of them is all.
