Hello, DH has been offered a new job but we're not sure whether he should take it. The main reason we would go for the new job is a 12ishK, pay increase from 38 to 50k which can include extra bonuses from time to time. Bonuses are rare at his current job. It would be same working hours but new job would have an hour dinner rather than half hour (which he would probably work through anyway). The major drawback is its about 10 miles further away than his current job and they want him to work 8 until 5 whereas now he does 7.30 until 4 (but tons of unpaid overtime hence looking for a new role). New job won't budge on the hours and with the extra travelling time he'd be home about 1hr15 later than now. Problem is, we have a disabled son who we need to do physio with each night for 30 mins and we usually do this at 5pm each night, although this is time limited for around 12 months. It's also great DH is home at tea time to help out! His old job are really casual and he can take time out for appts etc if he needs to. We could do sons physio later on but he's usually so knackered and routine oriented I can't see it happening but the extra £450 or so a month would be massive for us! Not sure what to do, what would everyone else do? I don't have any other friends.to ask Smile

I think you can get into a new routine. Its a significant increase, kind of a step up to a new level, and not too much sacrifice for it.
