Which job should I choose?
Last year I wasn’t having the best time at my job so I started looking around for new opportunities. Currently I work in marketing but a friend recommended I get into insurance because I enjoy the people aspect and wanted to become more on the operating side of the business. She also is in it and she says its a good industry to for career growth. With her help, I got a new grad role which starts this september (even though I am not a new grad, Im 3 years post grad now).
Recently, at my current job, I got promoted to a more senior position (salary TBD still) and things have looked up. I really believe it was growing pains when I didn’t like my job last year.
Now the date is approaching and I like my current job more, and im not sure what to do.
Do I…
Stay at current job which is 1/day a week in office, flexible, great benefits, and has an overall good working culture in an industry I’m comfortable.
Or… do I…
Go into the unknown, this job would be 3 days in office, would have to start at a lower salary (but not by that much) since Im pivoting careers and into a career Im not sure I like. I also believe this career has greater opportunity for growth and promotion.
What role should I choose?
