Hiya!
I wondered if anyone could shed additional perspectives on my dilemma.
I currently work for LG in a core role which every LG has. I earn £32000 per year for this role.
I have been offered a job in another LG, for £15000 more for exactly the same role (it actually seems that due to the way they split the work, it would actually be easier).
In terms of actual wage, I would make the same amount of money on a 3 day contract there, as I did when I was full time in my current role.
It sounds like an amazing opportunity, massively more money and more experience in an area I am passionate about.
BUT. It’s 50 miles away, and I would need to get a train due to fear of driving on a motorway. Although they have said I could have it written into my contact that I only attend once per month (I currently attend 1 day per week in my role).
My current team, including ALL managers are just lovely. Genuinely, they are by FAR the nicest set of people I have ever worked with - I am worried I won’t find this elsewhere. Realistically I just won’t.
Finally, recently I changed my working hours and my job moved around alot to accommodate me. I feel a bit of guilt leaving after they were so good, but this feels like an amazing opportunity.
What would you do? Am I crazy to leave? Or crazy to stay?
