I've been contacted by a recruiter who want me to apply for a job. All my skills and experience match. So I need to update my cv.
Should I even bother?

New job.
Hybrid 1 day max in office. Its a step up with line management responsibilities.
1hr commute. £75k

Current job
Wfh except every few months travel to office 5 hrs away ( with hotel stay)
Easy job could do it in my sleep. Lovely coworkers. A bit boring. £55k

I'm thinking of applying and see what happens? Would you apply or stay where you are?

Aibu- stay in current job
Ainbu- apply for new job

Of course you should apply. See what happens. Think about it in the meantime.

Do you want line management responsibilities?

Stressedgiraffe · 13/09/2023 17:45

Yes I think so. I'm already doing 1-1 with my team, responsible for holidays, planning and allocating work.

Turn it around - why would you not apply for the new job?

Apply for the new job. You don't have to accept it if it's offered to you, if you decide it's not for you after applying.

If the recruiter has a trustworthy/ respectable reputation it doesn't hurt to apply and see.
