I’ve been working in the large bank for a last five years, in various roles, now in investment-admin , office based. My current role started six months ago. I really want to develop my career further, it’s not easy when you’re in mid-forties. I’ve been studying AAT level 3 , but never had job in accounting, although I did treasury secondment at my current workplace. I’ve been approached by recruitment company and ended up with job offer as accounting assistant. Everything happened quickly: I did apply earlier for those kind of jobs, but was rejected due lack of experience. I accepted new role and gave my notice, but now, when reality kicks in, I’m not sure , am I doing right thing. New salary is slightly higher, but pension is lower. New workplace is much closer , but fully office based, while hybrid working in banking. I’ve got really nice team . I’m not sure about development in my current work, it’ll happen eventually, just in long time and I feel I don’t have this time. In the new one I’ll be able to learn accounting and they’ll help me with studies. It’s a risk , if things won’t work out in the new job, I’ll loose stability and not bad package. Any thoughts?
