Have namechanged in case this can be linked to RL.
This is all a bit "ifs" and "buts", but I'd really appreciate views should I end up in the position of being offered the role...
Background: senior manager in non-profit sector. Worked somewhere v happily for a while where I had DS, left for a change and because I was flattered approached by another org (Org 1). Had a horrible 6 months due to a mix of people, travelling and situ with the org - lots of angry customers to deal with. Been freelancing since then.
As part of freelancing doing a PT contract (Org 2) somewhere since Aug that is likely to turn into a perm role in Jan which will be recruited for - in good & proper way. Boss asked me if I wanted to apply. They are likely to accept 4 days a week (which would be my pref) if it is me that gets the role. Downside is likely to be the money. I am there on a day rate, which is actually same as my last employed salary, boss hinted that couldn't continue. And I get the sense that salaries aren't great there. But obv I'd have sick & holiday play plus a pension.
A few weeks ago I was approached about a FT job at (Org 3). The spec "spoke to me" (yes a bit
on that phrase!) as it was basically written for me and the money is great, I am guessing about £20K more than Org 2. Out of 2 days worth of interviews it is down to 2 of us for a 2nd this week.
To add into the mix we are hoping to have another DC at some point. Really need to ttc this coming year as I am not getting any younger and DC1 is getting older!
I guess I am just a bit unsure about taking (should I be offered) Org 3 as it will be really full on and as they don't know me at all I'll need to prove myself before considering a DC. But the money and the challenge is appealing. Was planning to ask about 4 days should I get the role.
However, was a bit scarred by the 6 month at Org 1 where I felt I moved for vanity reasons in retrospect etc. So thinking that Org 2 would be the sensible option - again should I get it.
I appreicate there are lots of people on here being mistreated/sacked/being made redundant, so I could seem rather indulgent with my "what should I do about these jobs"...but I cannot stop thinking about it all.
Any thoughts would be welcomed.
TIA
