Hi, I need opinions please!
I've worked in the same job for over 6 years and I really enjoy it. I had planned to apply for the manager's job when it came up, but sod's law meant that my manager went on secondment 2 months into my maternity leave. They decided to second someone to his post and as I wasn't willing to reduce my maternity leave, I accepted that I'd missed out on the opportunity. I went back to work and was able to reduce my hours. My new boss (who I already knew) is great about all things child related and I'm valued in my role.
But, I saw a new job advertised somewhere else, applied for it and got an interview. However, when I got to the interview, instead of the post being a delivery manager (which is what it was advertised as) it turned out to be a service manager. (They're quite different jobs).
Anyway, I carried on and I've been offered the new job. I don't know what to do!
Pro's are:
It's more money (although thankfully that's not a major issue for us - touch wood)
Jobs on that grade are hard to come by
The journey home would be more convenient
Con's are:
The job isn't the one I applied for and I wanted the Delivery Manager job
I'd have to work more hours
The journey in would be a complete pain
I didn't get a good feeling at the interview
What do you think?
