So I can't make my mind up so its time to ask randoms, I've written all the pros and cons out and its about 50/50, one morning gut says go with A the next go with B.
I've got a job offer permy, I'm already permy, I applied for this other job before I knew gf was pregnant and her getting pregnant is making this hard decision whether to take new job. Current permy job money is ok and I get a lot of flexibility, late starts, working from home and no stress from my manager, bonus and pay rises due Feb next year. I like it here but it doesn't really stretch me and there is no real chance of becoming manager, office move in Jan means my commute will go down from 2.5hrs a day to about 1.5hrs.
The new job is about 12% more £ as base, but as I lose bonus if I left current job overall I'm flat. New job is more senior / leadership role, it would be step up for me in seniority wise not that I want to be more senior but I want more £ and this is the only way to get it. In my sector / skill set its the most senior job I've seen and highest paying I've seen ever, so I fear this might be my one opportunity. The commute is same as I currently have 2.5hrs a day.
If it wasn't for baby due in April, I would without hesitation take the new job, but now with baby coming I'm thinking I need the flexibility / shorter commute from my current job, but on the flip side as I mentioned the job I got offered is a one off really, if I don't take I could regret it its a career changer type of role, if I do take it though I might not be able to enjoy fully the babies first few months as I will be trying to set a good impression in new job. New job would start early Jan baby due early April.
What would you do.
