Right now i have pretty basic, boring job. Nothing spectacular or intellectually demanding. But, I get along with my boss, i can listen to podcasts during the day, mofos leave me alone (i'm an introvert) and it's work that I can leave at work. Once I'm off the clock, I don't think about it all. The rest of my life is mine.

i don't love it. i don't love what i make, but i can live with it for now.

Got an offer yesterday that's a natural progression given the field i'm in, my work history, and what I've told my coworkers my career interests are. (this is just what i've told them. its not entirely true.)

there'd be a raise, of course more responsibility. but it's deadline based shit, and its something i know i'd be stressing about around the clock, at least for a while. (i've done it before, wasn't a good experience, but this is a bigger and more stable organization than the place i was working before.)

that being said, i haven't really challenged myself career-wise in a while. its work that looks far more attractive on a resume than what i'm doing now and the skills i'd be building are more transferable.



i'm not at a very "passionate" moment in my career. i honestly don't really care about anything. at all. given that, i don't know if disrupting my current comfort would be a good idea for me, or horrible.

spot with no discussion of a raise. I told them i wouldn't accept the added pressure, responsibility, exposure without a significant increase. We agreed on 15% and i gladly accepted.

I would have wound up training a new hire anyway so it was easier that way. Plus i got to hire my own assistant. So kinda different situation than yours. I'm usually motivated by tbe money

You got to determine whether the money (or whatever else is important to you) is worth the added stress, deadlines etc.
