Hi, that's a great question without any easy answers. Paulette had a very good point that essentially depending
on what you are looking for in your "personal team", opportunities for both people will need to be
acknowledged, and sometimes being located near a larger city or metropolis will be important.
Depending on how close your respective fields are, it can be a blessing or a curse, from personal experience and
conversations with dual-scientist couples. The blessings are in being able to really relate to highs and lows of
the respective careers, really speaking the same language, being able to empathize with proposal deadlines,
deadlines for teaching classes, the need to go to certain meetings, and dinner conversations that invariably
end up with a pad of paper and pencils and ideas for a new project. The cons can include being under the same
stress, often at the same time, and the feeling of always bringing work home -- in addition to the challenges of
ensuring that both people are in jobs they enjoy in the same place at the same time, and decisions surrounding
what to do if one gets a great job offer somewhere else, etc.
From what I've seen it can generally work out well, but, like all relationships, not always.
