I have a bit of a job dilemma (although I fully recognise that I am in a lucky position).
Current job: WFH pretty much all the time, it's a little boring but my colleagues and boss are absolutely lovely. I have 2 DC in years 3 and 5 at a local state primary and wfh means there are never any issues with school picks ups/drop offs and me and DH can get them to their clubs and activities too. The company I work for is a small business so pension, sick days etc. are all lowest statutory amounts. I get paid £36k per year. Although I am not super challenged I am quite happy, and it all works very well around family life. DH is very equal but he does work abroad once every 6 weeks or so, and then it's all down to me.
Offered job: Head of Department in a prep school (no boarding). I used to be a teacher abroad, loved it, but took a job on return in a state school and hated it so haven't taught for a 18 months. I said if I went back it would be to a private school - saw this and applied not even expecting an interview. Did an interview last week and was offered the job today. Gorgeous school, lovely small classes, higher pay, decent pension, 18 weeks holiday (!), the job will be a bit of challenge as the department needs a bit of an overhaul but I've done that before. Downside is I need to be in school from 8-5, sometimes later for a club or something. My children go to a rural state primary where the breakfast club and after school clubs are not every day and the breakfast club does not start early enough. I don't know how we would deal with this, and it would also be harder to get them to their clubs and activities, although I know my mum would help out. The school does offer a substantial discount for staff children which is 1 option, but as it only goes up to year 8 I'm not sure what I would do with them then as I can't afford full fees on a private high school.
So I guess I'm asking what you would do - stick with the job that is easier for family life or take the challenge and somehow make the logistics work.
