Hello,
Really need some impartial advice please.
I've been with my current company for 4.5 years. Started when my son was 6 months old and since then have also separated from my sons dad and now have a mortgage on my own as well as child care costs. The company is very small, only 13 employees in total.
Recently I decided to start looking for a new job because of a number of reasons, some personal and some professional.
The new job is for a global company and is 5k more than my current salary but the old job has now offered me a % share in the business.
I'm scared that if I turn this down and end up hating my new job then I will regret not taking this offer. Equally I'm also scared that if I take this offer I may continue to feel unhappy. What would you all do?
Do I stay for the money and security? Or do I take a risk and leave and hope that I will be happy at the new place?
Any advice very welcome.
