Actually - job decision mojo needed.

I just received a job offer today. I did interview for the job, but did not think my interview went that well and was totally not expecting the offer. Probably got it due to there just not being a lot of experienced people in that field.

Anyways - a lot of pros and cons to accepting. Significant pay increase and better benefits. But where I am now has a metric buttload of job flexibility and (for now) I can work from home of Fridays and in bad weather. Job change scares the crap out of me so any spare mojo you can send I will appreciate. Most importantly I want to do what is best for my family.
 
I recently (April) changed jobs after a ten year run, and it's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride. I totally get where you're coming from. Once you have been at a place for years, it's pretty easy to navigate, and sort of scary to have to learn the rungs all over again in a new organization. Take your time, weigh your options, and I'm sure you'll make the right choice.
 
Good luck Dave.

Been interviewing heavily the past month. Problem is I can go through 4-5 different interviews over the span of 5 weeks only to be shot down. NYC tomorrow, Hoboken on Wednesday then Boston on Thursday. I haven't worked this hard since my last round of interviews....


damn.....just think I fixed the problem...
 
Good luck, Dave. Change can be frightening but also stimulate growth. Hold on and enjoy

Only you know what is more important; money and benefits, or flexibility. When in doubt, go for the money. Your current salary is a negotiating point for each new job. Flexibility typically isn't.
 
Mojo Dave...

My feeling is that if you interviewed, you're looking for something...make this decision very carefully and thoughtfully...I'm sure you'll do what's best...
 
How secure of a job would the new one be ? How secure is your current one? Taking a higher paying/benefits job seems good a face value but if they're gonna potentially lay you off if times get tough then job instability no matter the pay ain't so good. How would the environment fit your personality, lifestyle etc. hell you could be a male prostitute and make buttloads...oops I mean boatloads of money but who wants to do that... all I'm saying is money ain't everything assuming you're meeting your families needs now....not everyone needs to be mr.moneybags. Time is money as they say...will you spend less time with your family with new job ?
Just trying to throw out a different view, something to think about work work work to maintain a high maintenance lifestyle or work less/make less and live a low maintenance lifestyle..put another way
be rich in the bank and a potential miserable fuck (like a Trump) and poor(er) in you happiness or be poo(er) in the bank and be rich rich rich in happiness and family...just another view to think about
