What would you do?
Current Job One: You like your job, but as with all jobs, you do get irritated at times at procedures/processes/people. You also don't get paid as much as your colleagues, and are given assignments that are on par with the ones they are given. (You do ask for challenges so that you get these higher assignments, but no compensation is given with challenge) You thrive in stressful, fast moving situations, and there are a lot of those in this job. You feel like you will be kept in the same position for a long period of time without additional compensation especially with the way the economy is and the high cost of living in your area.
Possible New Job Two: You MAY like this new job, it definitely pays more, but you are scared that it may become boring and monotonous. You are also afraid that you may not be able to do this job, even though your mentors and peers believe you will do fabulously. This job is different than the other job and is more of a leadership/mentoring role which you believe would be good for your career. Fear of Change is also a factor. Fear of switching areas and disappointing your current bosses because you like them as individuals is also a factor.
One last thing: You would definitely stay in the current job if you were paid the same and given the opportunity to grow/be promoted as the possible new job.
