Hi all,
So dissatisfaction with my current job (salary, title, politics, flexibility, feeling like skill set not used well) led me to apply for other jobs. I also had a conversation with my boss and his boss about everything. Well fast forward a month and a half and I now have a verbal offer from a new location as well as a verbal offer for a promotion on my current location. The new location would require packing everything up and moving to a new country, while the new offer for the current job will give me a new title and a much higher salary, but many of the same problems would still exist, especially since the promotion isn’t changing my actual job responsibilities much or opening up my ability to use my skills. My question is, should I stay at the current job location, which would be paying me over $35,000 more in salary and benefits, or should I go to a new country with a much lower salary, but an exciting adventure and a new location in an office mates? My husband works remotely and would be able to continue doing what he does in either location.
Th new location would make it much harder to save for retirement, probably putting us 7 years behind total.
