Haven't got either of thrm but I need to leave my current post which I hate but is quite well paid. I can afford to take a salary cut. 2 options have come up, option 1 is interesting, not stressful BUT only a 12 month contract and a bit further away. I am hoping it would lead to something else. Option 2 a bit nearer, better paid, 3 long days so loads of time off but will be more stressful and a bit of a learning curve for me. So, lovely people...what would you do??

Option 2. A short term contract would stress me out! Good luck.

I’d take option 2. I’d deal with some stress for a short commute, a 3 day week and decent money.

option 2. I’d love 3 long days and 4 off

I vote option 2 too. A short commute is a huge bonus and the learning curve is only temporary.
