I have it made where I am now but I have another job possibly on the table. Had a good interview but no offer yet.
Is it worth 10k a year plus better growth opportunities to leave a cushy job with many freedoms? The new position would be a better 'career' move but it just seems weird to walk away from this awesome setup I have. It feels like a mafia no-show job sometimes.
Pros/cons of current job (support engineer @ midsize telcom):
+Very casual environment.
+come and go as I please, can work from home whenever I want
+Easy work
+Great co-workers
+decent pay
-little bored
-not much chance of advancement or growth
-not the best benefits - no tuition reimbursement
Pros/cons of new job (network admin @ medium corp):
+10k more per year (15% raise)
+Growth position with advancement opportunity
+Better benefits - bonuses, tuition etc
-Harder work with much more accountability (1 of 2 admins)
-fear of the unknown
