This is about the most relevant category I could find. I'm just after a bit of advice / to get opinions from different perspectives.
My current job offers a manageable workload, 3 days a week WFH written into my contract so unlikely to change. I get on well with team members and other colleagues
The negatives are that it's a small team with little opportunity to progress to a senior role and I came in at the top of the pay scale and unlikely to get a significant pay rise for the foreseeable future. My office is in another county, I commute roughly an hour and 45 minutes 2 days a week.
The new job offer is local to me with about a 3k pay rise and a further 2k in a couple of years. Hours are 8-4 but 1 in 4 weeks will be out of hours This job offers senior management experience.
I'm not motivated by the pay rise, we have additional income from a rental property but I feel like I should take the new job purely for the opportunity to progress, but a part of me thinks it's not worth losing the flexibility that I've got with my current job.
Relatives think I should stick to my current job, but I don't want to look back and regret not taking this opportunity. Please help
