Hey, everyone, I need some advice following some recent events at work.
The question is, "How best to proceed?"
Details:
-Got a promotion at my corporate oil job today, which will involve
--a ton more work & stress
--title change, and bump to mgmt ladder
--no immediately pay increase
-Not a huge fan of my old job, my company, or industry. Certainly don't feel inspired to work unpaid overtime (I'm salaried).
-Was originally hoping to coast by for ~12 more months (maintaining a "weak but not too weak rank" to get
--a little more savings
--insurance, in case we get pregnant
-With my old job I could keep my REI side-gig which ease an ERE transition with
--insurance
--jobs in Colorado (where we want to retire)
-Have a 5-figure signing bonus I have to pay back if I leave before late May
--Have the money earmarked in an Efund if need be
-Resume has 3 jobs at good companies (considerations for getting back into industry is I ERE/resign)
--Never stayed longer than 2.5 yrs at any one co
--Total exp nearly 7 years
--Did get a "senior" promotion at one point
-ERE now would be 3.1-3.4 SWR
-Ideal job in industry (best aligned with personal values) would probably be as an hourly technician
Thoughts are to try to make it until May, ERE, use the new job to bolster resume (if I ever need it)
Thank you!
