This is kinda a strange question but it has had me really confused for a week or so. I have found out that I have a second opportunity at a job that I turned down 4 years ago. The job I have know just pays the bills. But money just exchanging hands. Kinda sucks because I never can get ahead. So to make any spending money I have to do alot of side jobs. This is probably not going to change in the near futre.
The new position the money will increase about 1/3. I know I have the skill to do the new job because I have done it before but for a different company. The major setback is that I will not be able to chose what kind of schedule I keep. Junior man get what is left type of thing. I might end up working nights,out of town all week,or possibly days. I currently have a 4 1/2 year old girl and another will be here in October. I really want to be around for my family but one way I look at it is if I work 40/45 hrs a week at regular job then have to work on the side evenings and weekends I will not be here for them anyway. Also after I get a couple of years in and I am not the junior man I can pick and choose what I want to do and can be here whenever I want to. Also the new job would have killer benefits and is union.
So I guess what I am wondering is do I hang to the old or grab on to the new? Thanks for the help!
