to ask what you would do?

I am currently working in a job I dislike, it's high stress without the nice salary to accompany it. I earn £20k, but the job is only 10 miles away so not an awful commute.

What worries me, is that in 2 weeks my notice period will rise to 3 months, as it policy when probation period is over. My notice period is currently 1 month.

I have the possibility of another job, same money, but it's a 20 mile commute. It's also less holiday (20 days, whereas I now get 23).

I am on the fence, as the second job is a longer commute for the same money, and it is not a job I would stay in long term. However, it will definitely be less stress and will get me out of having the 3 month notice period at my current job.

Life is too short to be in a job you dislike so I'd take the other job as long as the commute wasn't horrendous.

i'd go for the new job, as polar said why waste your life doing things you dislike ?

I’d take the new job. 20 minutes is nothing.

When you say 'high stress', do you mean it's likely to affect your MH? Also, how long will the notice period be on your new job?

@MsVestibule yes, it is already affecting my MH. And the notice period in the new job is 1 month

In that case, I'd probably leave. How long will the 20 mile commute take? Will it cost a lot more in petrol/fares? Can you afford this?

I don't know how common it is to have such a long notice period for a low grade job but it seems ridiculous!

If it's already affecting your mental health then leaving is essential.
