How do I decide between 2 job offers – high stress and good pay or less money for less stress?
It depends on what your priorities are. If money is important to you (and there is no shame in admitting this) then Job C is the better option, but not if it’s so intense that you don’t get to enjoy any of it… Also, you didn’t specify where you are in your life right now, i.e your family situation. You said you left job A for family reasons but that could mean going to care for your sick parents… If you have a spouse and or children then job B is the better option, but if you don’t then now may be a good time to put in the hectic hours required at job C. You could look at it as putting your time in for something better (only you can know if this type of work suits you) so that you will have more opportunities in the future and be able to have a higher quality of life with your perspective family. I know this is a hard decision, especially during such trying economic times but only you can know what is the best for you. hope it all works out. let us know what you decide.
