Should I choose a consulting office based on where my partner can find work?

I am choosing between two offices that are both good professionally, but one city would be much easier for my partner's career. Is that a reasonable reason to choose an office even if the other one has slightly stronger industry exposure for me?

Should airport and travel convenience affect which consulting office I choose?
- Office Selection
Two offices are similar for industry fit, but one has a much easier airport and better flight options. If travel ends up being part of the job, is that a reasonable factor in office selection or too minor to matter?

Mayank G.CoachYes, travel convenience can be a legitimate secondary factor when the offices are otherwise close in fit.

Mayank G.CoachTreat the partner connection as a positive signal, not the entire office decision. One strong conversation can tell you something about the people, but it cannot represent every team, practice or staffing experience in that location.

My partner is moving to another city and I would genuinely prefer to be there, but I have never lived or worked in that office location. Is that enough of a reason to apply there?
