Howdy Folks,

Interested to hear you opinion on this as i may be being a bitch here.

I got offered a job which is 20k euros more per year than my current role but the disadvantage is that it is an extra 30 minutes commute and 2.5 hours more per week.

​

Age 27

Lifting 10 years

MMA

In an LTR

Etc

​

Current role:

40k Euros ( up to 50k w bonus, on-call and shift ( Saturday/Sunday WFH every 2nd weekend)

Office is 10 min drive

Job is easy

​

Potential new role:

60k Euros ( Up to 10-15% Bonus paid quarterly )

Weekends off, no shifts

Office is 40 minute commute door-door, public transport ( train )

May be more stressful but better prospects long-term

2.5 hours more per week ( 40 hours in total, 8am-5pm)

​

What is putting me off is i like my current role and co-workers, short commute and get more time to pursue my hobbies, however i do have a young child to consider and i want to buy two properties within the next 5 years ( currently renting ) to kickstart my goal towards passive income and safety.

​

Is my hamster spinning like a bitch trying to talk myself out of this opportunity, i plan on asking my company for a raise and i am inline for a promotion next month but that would still only bump me up to 45k max id say. Interested on your thoughts on this.

​

Regards,

​
