Juan's problem was that he had to choose between two options, but neither one was ideal. He had to decide whether to stay in his current job or move to a new city. Staying in his current job meant that he would have to continue to deal with the long commute and the lack of opportunity for advancement. Moving to a new city would mean that he would have to leave behind his family and friends and start over in a new place. Both options had their pros and cons, and Juan had to weigh the benefits and risks of each option before making a decision.
