An opportunity has come up recently for a job which, for various reasons, has been out of reach until now. I am now in a position to apply for it but I’m worried it might not be the right decision as there are a few pros and cons to it!
Pros:
It is my dream job. It’s in a field I’m hugely passionate about and really wouldn’t feel like work to me.
It would help me get a foot in the door of an industry I love but have struggled to get into so far.
It would involve a lot of travel abroad.
The company covers accomodation and expenses so my wages would be mine to keep and it could be a great opportunity for me to save some money.
I like to think that I’d be really good at it 
Cons:
The contract is only initially for 6 months so after that I will potentially be without a job and I have no idea what I may or may not get after that.
I might get lonely being ‘on the road’ for months at a time. The nature of the job means you don’t necessarily see the same people day in day out.
I will either have to continue to pay rent on my place at home while I’m away or move out and put all my stuff in storage, then try to find somewhere else when I get back.
Its very competitive, several stages of interview etc.
It is long hours and potentially quite stressful.
The job would involve a training course at their European headquarters, which you have to cover your own costs for (fair enough) - you can get the costs back if you get the job but obviously that’s a big if!
So I really don’t know what to do. Wibu to apply, knowing that if I do get it I might be in a difficult position when I get back regarding a new job and place to live?
