DH & I are both crap at making timely major decisions but basically he has to let prospective employer know tomorrow.
Last year he was made redundant from a job he'd got stuck in and become unhappy in. It could have been an opportunity to make a move in to something he really wanted to do but because I'd just had a baby and he'd got little redundancy money, instead of holding out for the perfect job, he took one he was offered in a start up company. The job seemed interesting, money was OK and in the current economic climate we didn't know when the next job offer would come so he took it. In time it became clear the job wasn't really what he'd been led to believe, he loathes his boss and DH feels isolated as he works alone from home.
He's been actively looking for a new job for 5 months but with no success. Recently, because he's been so miserable in his current job, he's been applying for jobs which previously might not have been his first choice and today he was offered one.
When he came back from the interview he said it was Sod's Law that he'd be offered the job because he didn't want it that much but now he has been offered it he's talking more positively about it. The major downside is that he is used to working in a smallish team as it gives him more variety (he works in IT) but this is a narrower role within a much bigger department. Also when they called to offer him the job they said he was by far the best candidate, which left me wondering if he is too good for the job? However, he hasn't recently seen any other jobs he could apply for and working with his current boss is still making him miserable.
Is it obvious to an outsider what he should do? And/or what questions should he be asking himself to come to a decision?
