Have a big big dilemma....
I started a job in the NHS a few weeks ago... And I absolutely love it... LOVE it. Its a band 5 role and the pay is higher than what I earned in my previous role. I enjoy the work, learning about the sector and also my colleagues are absolutely lovely.
But....
Today I received a call on my personal mobile from a former candidate that I interacted with quite a lot in my previous role.. They are a fairly well known CEO for a quite well known charity.. This person has been both a candidate and a client of ours and I have known them for several years professionally. They found out through a colleague that I recently left my previous organisation and mentioned they always liked how I dealt with them professionally and that if they could have me work for them they would.
So, here's the dilemma... They have a post that they want me to apply and interview for and essentially they insinuated that they would offer me the job....
Its £20k more than what I'm on now....
I'm not absolutely desperate or motivated by and for money.. But a small part of me thinks what if....
I'm really enjoying my job and the person I work with is just so lovely and kind and we have hit it off immediately. I also know that the NHS has great potential and my line manager said there are opportunities to progress to band 6 management very quickly.
I don't know what to do. I'm really torn. I feel like if I was to apply and interview for this job I'm being disloyal and also it's putting the seed in my mind that I want to go for it..
Am I just best off forgetting about it?
