So, I have been unsatisfied with my current role in a university for a while. Unsupportive boss blocking my opportunities, seeming lack of opportunity for progression and part-time hours (fab for spending time with 18 Month old, but rubbish for money). Also university going through financial struggles, so things due to get tighter. I'm main breadwinner - DP does childcare and supply work (our relationship struggling too).
I was looking at jobs online a month ago when I saw a job advertised at a higher grade, with more opportunities, in an academic dept (current one is in a services dept). I thought I'd apply so I didn't regret it, was offered an interview and was thrilled to be offered the job. But it all happened so quickly - I now feel really stressed! I have to let them know this week - they did say to take my time to decide.
My dilemma is my son is 5 and is heavily settled at school and 20 months ago moved into the house I'd always dreamed of (literally - had images of it in my mind before I saw it. Old stone farmhouse). So I have a massive connection to the house. If I could move the house with me it would be fine! I've lived in this area a long time and have lots of friends - we all have busy lives but meet up a couple of times a month. It's the best place to live. But the job I'm in is no longer working for me.
So what the hell do I do? Also I am considering that if I went to the new place, dp may stay here (to give ourselves breathing space from each other) but no idea how I would manage childcare with an 18 month old, 5 year old and full time job!
