So I got a job offer out of the blue.

It pays more, but has fewer hours. I've done a little math, and there's *no* way I could take what their initial offer is. I could make a few adjustments in spending but would still be making less, even if I could get them to raise their offer. Pros of the new job: my commute would go from approx 30mins to 15mins each way, so I would save a little on gas, and I think the stress level would be a little less. Cons- it would be working with someone that I worked with/was friends with years ago, what if it doesn't work out? What if the stress level isn't much different, and I would be stuck in a stressful job with less pay? I would have similar benefits but they wouldn't start until after the first year of employment, so I would be losing out small things like paid vacation but also big things like 401K.

Guess I just needed to ramble a little and try and make sense of what's floating around in my head. I'm awful at making decisions! If any of you Blenders would like to weigh in, please do!

Thanks for reading : )
