Some background. Right now my day job is a Corporate Operations Trainer for a franchising company. The job is pretty good, and I have no issues with it. In fact, It's been pretty stress free. I train all of their corporate managers, and any franchisee buying into the company. Sometimes I'll travel, and they pay for the hotels, food, etc.
It's a decent "cushy" job where I don't have to worry about much. I have growth options here as well. I even know I'm often looked at for next opportunities. The job is also pretty secured. I still had it all throughout covid. Due to the nature of the franchise, it was one of the businesses that stayed open throughout the pandemic. In fact, as most companies that was able to stay open, it had record profits.
The new job would be a senior management position in the hotel business. So, like, do I really want to get into the hotel business? Not really. However, it is significantly more money, and better benefits.
Right now, my role is stress free. I don't really have to worry about anything anymore in terms of what happens at my workplace. This new position will no doubt be a lot more in depth, more stress, as I'll be directly held responsible for some aspects of the business. Which I have done before, I have managed multi-million dollar businesses before. But I got away, as its stressful. Does the new positions significant pay increase help tip the scales though? It will be a 20-35% pay increase than what I'm currently making. Just at the base level, not including any bonuses etc.
My GF is in Europe for two weeks, and hard to discuss it with her atm with the time differences, and her out having fun on vacation. So, I need to discuss it with someone xD
What everyone's thoughts? Should I take the plunge? My worry right now is, I'm very contempt with my current job. I like my peers, and my bosses. Leaving companies altogether is a huge step when you aren't hating your current employment. What happens if it doesn't even work out? Then I'm out of a job altogether :O
Anyhow, just need some people to talk to.
