Job A or Job B? Help

[Workingmumali]

Any thoughts welcome...

Have been working at job A for around 6 months managing a small team of 3. Standard working hours but need to take kids to school breakfast club (£8 per day). Good base salary and commission on top.
Commission based on instructions which are hard to come by and not guaranteed.
25 days AL plus BH. No working between Xmas and new year. Flexible working and so can work from home if needed. Full sick pay if needed increasing incrementally as with length of service. Lovely boss.

Job B - have been offered job B. Will be in charge of a team of around 12. Standard working hours but no need for breakfast club.
Very similar base salary to job A. Commission on top which is regular and guaranteed and will add about £10k a year to the salary.
21 days AL plus BH. Will work skeleton hours between Xmas and new year.
Only statutory sick pay, or unpaid.
No regular set working from home, will be office based.
Company shares to be given but can only be cashed in on company sale and no guaranteed time frame for this, or amount. (But payout could potentially be hefty).

I feel completely stuck and lost. Tried a pros and cons list and it's just making me feel torn on both sides!

Honestly stick with job A pay rises aren't always worth it in the long wrong and Job B doesn't have that many benefits aside from no breakfast club.
Working with a large team can be a nightmare more than a benefit personality clashes etc.

You said so that your current team are lovely you have better sick allowance and holiday allowance personally stick with A until the children are older to then look at jobs with bigger pay rises.

Long term prospects?

For how long will you need wrap around childcare? E.g. children in last couple of years primary school, or children just starting school?

Do you need the 10k commission to balance your finances, over pay large mortgage?

Is managing a team of 12 going to be more stressful than a team of 3, and if so is the renumeration reflective of that? Not sure it sounds it.

Just a few other things to consider!

I'd prob stick with A for flexible WFH, more AL and no working in between Xmas and NY.

More info needed. Family circs? If job B goes wrong can you afford to get by for a decent period before finding another job? How’s your health? Any dependents who may make flexibility at work an appealing factor? Etc …

Extra days AL (including Christmas) lighter workload (managing 12 people is more than 4x the work of managing 3), sick pay, nice boss and flexible working … all worth their weight in gold plus if you added it up would equate to quite a lot of actual cash as well.

edited to correct typos!

Does the non bank hol time between Christmas and new year come off the 25 days? If it does (in my experience that's usually the case) then the holiday side is actually worse in A than B

1. Kids are still very young and so breakfast club is needed for a while
2. We are in a bit of a pickle with finances and I am the breadwinner and so the extra £ at the moment would go a lot way.
3. When I have looked for the 'next step up' jobs previously it has been really hard without management experience. I wonder whether the team of 12 may be good for the long run..
4. Job A the Xmas and new year time off is not taken from the 25 days AL and although I don't need to 'work' I do need to check in to see everything is ticking along OK.
5. Not concerned about job B going south as is actually a previous employer. I am confident that I could find another simular job if need be too.
6. Shares will be limited by guarantee so no risk to house or personal possessions.
