I should also say that I do recognize, vis-a-vis my last post, that I'm very, very lucky to even be in this position. I know that. I do. But that perspective isn't helping me with the decision on whether or not to move forward.

Crossroads

I have said before, I think, that I love my job. I work as an attorney managing litigation for a small company. I've been there 2.5 years, and I can honestly say it's the best job I've ever had. I find the work itself very interesting, 80-90% of the time, and with one or two exceptions, I like the people too. The money is decent, respectable, but not great. The flexibility is awesome - we have a 4.5 day workweek. I leave the office by 1:00-1:30 every Friday. Benefits are standard -neither a negative nor a positive.

I got a call on Friday from a recuiter, looking to fill a position similar to mine at a much bigger company. The difference in pay could be significant - maybe even life changing. It is definitely a more demanding job. I feel like...most of me loves what I have and doesn't want to lose it. I think I would really be sad to leave - I love it that much. An equally large part of me thinks that to have a job that would erase our debt and allow us to save the way we should be would make me happier in the long term. Even if I didn't like the job as much. And frankly I think that's almost certainly a given.

Note that this job hasn't been offered to me yet. But I think I'm pretty qualified for it, and while I have MANY deficiencies, interviewing is a strength. So while it's not a foregone conclusion that I WILL get offered this job, I think there's a good possibility of it.

And if that happens I will not know what the right decision is.
