Hey so I'm having a dilemma. I been a contractor for about a year n half making about 60 k in a position I really wasn't qualified for to begin with I have been getting lots of experience due to people being on maternity leave etc so I really like my position and feel like I'm being developed we'll currently my manager is on maternity leave as well as another girl on my team so my duties have increased as I was asked to fill in where the gaps are which helps me on my resume long term but I had also been applying for permanent jobs with the same company and I have an offer on the table the job is more duties etc and not really in the same align work I want to be in but it's permanent I would have benefits and be with the same company only con would be not knowing what to expect whether the team is a good team etc. and that is not completed aligned with my career goals now the job is the same salary grade but It's about 3 dollars more. I only have 3k in debt so that's not a major factor. My question is should I stay put for now being I have taken on these extra duties while my manager is out and they can really help me gain the experience I need or should I take the permanent role. My current role they always say it's the budget and that is why they haven't hired anyone permanently
Get a part time job that you do like... save your sanity... trust me... that was my dilemma two years ago... glad I stayed in my job that I’m comfortable in
Japonesa great idea . It’s not much difference in pay to quit her old job to deal with the new job stress
couldn’t agree more!!
I hope in that comfortable job that you have it satisfies all your financial needs. When all your financial needs are met technically you are a rich person
Not enough money difference for me to do the switch
For you the money is not the reason but what if the job puts you in a good position to be able to climb on a higher level a more prestigious position that definitely give you a lot more money you see it depends on the situation
I will stay at the current if im in her shoes. The stress at the new job will be detrimental to your physical health and mental health. Believe me, im in this situation at the moment. I hate my new job and I can’t jist quit bcz of financial obligations. I dread going to work everyday, i literally have anxiety because of the work itself. It’s mentally exhausting. The pay increase for something stressful is not worth it. It’s better to take the slow pace to pay off your debt. I can’t turn back time. Im crying everyday because i hate this new job.🥺😩
Sorry to hear that 😢
Ooh boy this is a good one.
Aw just quit. It's the not the only job in the world.
Youll be better out of that job but before you quit make sure you find something withing your área of expertise ,your passion , or your talent. You don't have to leave your Energy doing work you never planned to do. Life Is too short to be miserable in such stressful anxiety- provoking and frustrating job that makes you feel miserable every Time you think about it. Dreading to go to work Is a sign that you shouldnt stay there. Move on to your next job where you can enjoy inner peace and protect your mental health.
She could keep her current job and work a side gig to bring in extra money. Then she gets out of debt while keeping her sanity. It's a win win.
A side gig means more hours, worse for your health, less time with family. There are positives and negatives to every situation
People need to understand that money can be made and saved in many different ways outside of your day job. I had to make a decision to move to a different company for more money and more responsibility doing a similar job role. But, I'm happy and progressing albeit on a smaller salary! But I do side hustles, that allows me to be financially secure. Money CAN'T buy TRUE happiness.
It took me so long to figure this out. You can't leave a job you hate until you find another one and have a start date. You have to follow the baby steps. It sets you up for dealing with disaster later down the line. Right now I'm getting certifications and saving my 6 month emergency fund so I can be prepared to move on to something better. You gotta stop and look further down the line.
Thank you bro I got a start date June 7 and I Want to Go try it out and if I don’t like it I’ll just stay and if I do like it ima have to bail on this one . The new job pays me a lil more but That’s what I want
If your financial is stable, do what you like. Take comfortable one and less stressful. If you’re not in financial stable, take that stressful job with higher salary. But if your coworkers aren’t good and can’t do a teamwork, blame you instead of teach you how to fix, that’s another story
For 8k? Ehhh. If it was double or 70ish maybe. Might as well get a part time job.
I tried two jobs before it is a living hell no it's not worth it if you work 2 hours of overtime at your present job everyday you make an equivalent to having a second job
The only way I see a second job good if you buy your own equipment and go and provide that service that could be very rewarding but to go and work for a company another company that makes no sense to me
*pay shouldn't be the only consideration when obtaining or changing occupations*
Amen to that. I stayed at a stressful job that made better money sure but that I loved and TRUSTED the people!! I had the opportunity to make less but have way less stress, better hours but I knew no one. Glad I stayed put.
Your comment is true to some extent but for the people that don't have the money that should always be the reason once you get the money money is not the reason.
This is similar situation it's like working for charity you will not be paid regardless of how hard you work if you have money or if you don't I'm sure the cost is good but the person must live and money can buy a lot of things that can give life to people.
What problem do you have first get rid of your problem then after that you can start donating as much as you want
If you're hungry work for food then once you get the food you can even work for free then food will not be the reason
Great question! I have been examining life after More duties and higher pay. You really have to do things to protect your mind, health and personal life. I mean a plan too!! I did not have one in the beginning and had problems. I do now and much better. You gotta have a plan and stick to it. And as he said also look for what really brings you a thrill to do in your career.
That's really good you mentioned a plan it's like going to a grocery store without a reason you going to walk out with a lot of things but if you leave your house and going to go buy one thing you make sure you get that one thing that after that you can get whatever you want and the one thing is the plan you will always be successful with a good plan
It's true that you have to work out the numbers. Thank you for helping me. not going to take the promotion tomorrow after all. I would get a 5% raise for being stressed at my job. Nty
The real question is do you want to grow and if you do get ready to take on some stress
From experience. Payday yes its worth it. The other 6 days of the week. Fuck thia job its not worth it lol
Great questions….I need answers
My company offered me a position as a supervisor in the office, I respectfully turned down this position knowing that the current supervisors are always so stressed out, and I wasn’t going to make much more money anyways.
Never, your mental health is invaluable
In this case it could potentially have a big difference if her required monthly expenditures were so much that she could only put 10k towards debt another 10k could double her speed
You and I sent are mentioning putting the money in the right place well if she wants to grow and go into harmony status she needs to she needs to control her expenditure and when she controls that she might not even need to go after the bigger money and if she does it will definitely be a good thing also but she her problem is not how much money she makes the problem is how much money she spends that is obvious
i don’t hate my job but i been here less than a year and just got 2 raises. i work in the office in a warehouse but the boss quit so i’m basically working for 2 to 3 ppl. i took this job to avoid the heavy physical labor but here i am doing it all. my plan is to get a real office job within the next year or 2 but the problem is i’m making $20 in miami and that maybe hard to find as a starting pay elsewhere even in office jobs
Did you end up getting any help?
@@999glue5 yes. we moved to a bigger warehouse and we have full staff now so i’m in the office all day. i just work longer hours now everyday. biggest problem now is inflation and in november i’ll be employed 2 years
Interesting discussion! What about flipping this on its head - take a lower pay job for more satisfaction?
Silens i did it and it was amazing. Got the work life balance and i do what i love. And my commute is less! Haha
@@wrenchguy2937 Awesome! That's inspiring to hear! I feel a career change may be coming for me in the not-so-distant future and I think hearing things like this will help me to make a better decision when the time comes.
Sounds great, but trading one type of stress for another isn't the right thing to do either. The stress of not being able to pay one's bills is just as stressful as being stuck at a job one hates.
I would never advise someone to take a lower paying job for "satisfaction's" sake if taking that lower paying job would cause him or her to struggle financially. My advice would be to set some personal boundaries at work and pick up a hobby or volunteer to create satisfaction outside of work.
The job doesn't have to be "the end all to be all". You are lucky if it is. It's okay if the job is JUST the means which enables you to do this or that. The job should not BE your life. If your are unsatisfied with your life, there is no joy in it, the job is not the problem.
This situation that you created is only good for people that have the money already
This is a little bit out of place it like Grandpa and Grandma they have money in the bank and their house is paid for they don't have to worry about money they have money they have to worry about their health you see money is not the reason no more but as long as money is the reason the person cannot afford to work for less must continue going higher higher money I mean regardless of how much stress or strain
Math!!
If the job is stressful your not going to want to be there u may miss days from work because you dislike the work so you won’t see the higher pay!
Stress comes in growth
The question is easy to be answered. The mine are just to anything take the new job take the more money and that will make your life easier and better and about the job the more you do it the better you become and the better you become the less stressful it will become good luck in whatever you do
It’s really not even that big of a difference to be honest. I’d stay and get a temporary side job that I can quit at anytime
Stress for success.
I think she should just take a second job just don't leave the one you love. Things will work itself out.
U even didn't understand her question
Get a part time
