On a side note, this is common in academia (particularly for married couples), and often seen as a negative thing there. The downside is that employers often expect two full-time employees for the price of one. My wife and I both have similar skillsets and looked at applying to a shared tenure-track position.  We didn&#x27;t for exactly that reason.<p>On the other hand, I think i could be quite nice if employers manage expectations and don&#x27;t expect to get 2 for 1.
