Offered a job change that sounds less interesting and would force me out of my comfort zone, in exchange for a significant raise. How should I make this decision?
I don't have a gut feeling about this-- my mind changes every couple of minutes. I'm good at my job, which emphasizes my strengths and hides my flaws to the point where I'm almost afraid to leave the nest. This new job sounds a bit boring and hectic and would require me to overcome some of my weaknesses. I've already exhausted all options of negotiating with my current job, and this would be something like a 20-25% raise. I don't "need" the money but it would obviously be nice. I am a fairly frugal person, maxing out all my retirement accounts and so forth-- this would let me live a little (vacations etc). I guess what this boils down to, is how should I decide whether it's worth it to leave the comfort zone? Or how to tell whether my flaws are real and worth protecting or if it's just fear/anxiety/imposter syndrome? I know some people just don't want to be managers, ever-- this is kind of like that. Would love to hear personal experiences or maybe recommendations for things to read. I read this post about stepping backwards which was helpful, but this is more about whether to step forward. |
