Recently due to reorganisation, my job has been moved to a new team further away from home. Same role, just different team, further away. There is no opportunity for the same role nearer home currently or in the forseeable future. . I like the challenge of my current role, but it is a demanding job and I find it hard to switch off, even when on days off. My new commuute can take between 60-90 minutes one way, depending on time and traffic. I also find my new line manager's management style a bit stressful. I am finding the role combined with the new commute draining. I am constantly tired and preoccupied with thinking about work.
There may be opportunity for a post on a level below my current role, nearer home. It is a role I have done previously for many years, does not stretch me as much, has less responsibility and pays a bit less. I am currently part time so if I did a few more hours in the lower paid role, it will not be much different. I would get to work in 5 -10 minutes and be able to switch off at the end of the day. It may not be a good career move and others may assume I am doing it as I can't handle the pressure and responsibility of my current role.
I am in a dilemma about what I should do. Any advice please?
