I’ve been at my current job fresh out of college for almost 6 months now. There have been problems since the start (go back and look at my previous post for context) that have given me concerns, but overall haven’t directly affected me too much. I’ve been applying for jobs in the area where my partner lives that I’ve come to fall in love with. I just had an interview today with a local place in his area, and they seem ready to give me the job. But now I think I’m getting cold feet, and I don’t know what to do. There are very few jobs even related to my field over there, and this wouldn’t technically be directly related. It would be lower title and what not, essentially a Customer Service/Service Advisor position compared to the coordinator position I have now.
Pros of Potential Job – Safer location – Closer to partner (no ferry ride!) – Better environment – Better coworkers (more family oriented atmosphere) – Possibly happier/better mental health overall – May not get this opportunity again – Longer lunch break (1 hour compared to 30 minutes) – More authentic environment (less time trying to impress rich donors) – Better mission organization overall – Bigger living space at cheaper rent – No corporate BS – Closer commute – Consistency in staffing (will be getting a new boss at current job soon, total unknown as to what they are like which could make or break my experience)
Cons of Potential Job – Slightly longer days (8:30 – 5 instead of 8 – 4) – Less pay (by at least $10,000 – $20,000) – Less time off (1 week PTO + sick + 8 paid holidays compared to 20 days PTO + sick + 12 paid holidays + 1 week off at 4th of July + 2 weeks off at Christmas) – Possibly more difficult (for the most part my job is incredibly easy right now and I spend a lot of time just doing whatever in general) – Further from family/potential family fallout from this choice (mother is a very career oriented woman and would feel as if I was choosing my partner and his family over her) – Possibility something doesn’t work out between my partner and I (I love it there anyways, and we plan on getting engaged in April, but what if something happens between now and then?) – Lower title (I have a Bachelors and this is an Associates sort of job) – More difficult to try and move/sublet apartment right now (my lease is up in May so it would be more ideal timing then)
I think that’s everything I can think of. I feel like I may be running a bit off emotion instead of logic in trying to make this rash move. I know some may say I have to make this decision for myself, but if someone could provide me with insight I really want to hear what others think. Thank you so much in advance!
