Background - I have two kids 1 and 3. DH works 3 days per week, I am the primary earner. Just back from mat leave 5 days per week but was planning to drop to 4 days so I could have a weekday with the kids whilst they are young.
I've been offered a new job, so...?
YANBU - Take the new job. New job is something I want to do and is back doing what I trained for. Varied and interesting role. However there is no option to drop a day to 4 days to be able to have some time with the kids whilst they are young.
YABU - Stay in the old job where you can drop a day. The reason I wanted to drop a day was also as I don't like the job anymore, I don't like the direction it's going in and (prior to mat leave) I was fed up fighting against the tide and clashing with people 'above me'.
New job will be stressful but there's more I can do about it whereas in pretty much powerless now. So stress probably the same.
Money is slightly more for the new job, but not enough to be a deciding factor.
Just a quick straw poll, thanks!
