Should I accept a job offer for more money with more hours, or keep looking? |
My wife and I are relocating to Cashville, TN, and I will be quitting my current job at the end of September. I have a potential offer for around 60k per year, which is more than I make now, but it would require 50 hours per week. I currently work 40 and 45 when we are busy for less pay. My wife prefers it so she can see me more, but I am also not realizing my full career potential either. She has a very good job and I can afford to keep on looking, even if I quit without another job. Should I take the job to have one, or keep on looking? I liked all the people I'd be working with. It was the hours and the "demands" of the job that scared me. Thanks If you can afford to keep looking because your wife makes enough money then do so. You said the new job is 50 hours a week, the old job is up to 45 hours when you are busy. That means every week will be like an extra hour on your busiest weeks. Happiness with your family means a lot more. Be glad your wife makes good money and you guys have the option to make the choices. hmmm...thats a toughy. i guess you really have to outweigh your pros and cons, theres alot of pertinent info you left off. for example, just how much more will your difference in salary be? do you value time with your wife more than realizing your career potential? If youre working 40-45 hours a week now, will that extra 5 hours really make THAT much of a difference? Those are some of the questions you should ask yourself. If you are working more hours then it may not be beneficial. You need to do the math to figure out if you will actually be making more. |
