Have job that I reasonably enjoy, work colleagues are all great with a couple of really good friends, get on well with boss, have had a few health problems they've been really supportive over. It's also a job I find quite easy and one that I can easily leave at the office and not take home with me (which hasn't always been the case in the past).
Problem is with my experience and qualifications I can easily get a different job earning a lot more money. I can't really expect a considerable pay increase where I am - it's a small office and my pay is about right for that environment. But if I moved corporate I'd command a lot more (for the sake of not drip feeding I currently ear £30k, I could realistically move for 45k - perhaps more if I fell lucky).
But...... I live on my own and don't NEED that extra money. It would be nice, of course it would, but I live quite happily and don't have money worries. I also sometimes think that the more money you earn, the more you spend trying to live up to that lifestyle and it doesn't always make you happier...
OR I'm settling for an 'easy' job that's not really going anywhere and being a scaredy cat worried about taking on the responsibilities of a corporate job.
What would you do? Stress free life or career and more money?
