Looking for some advice. Is an additional 15-20K per year worth a move into management within current company? I'm currently in a senior role with no direct reports and make a good salary (80-95K range), have good hours (out by 4/430), no travel, etc. However, a position opened within my group in a management position. It manages about 9 total people – 1/2 are union field employees. It would be an additional 20K a year it seems max, require 10% travel possibly a little more, etc. I think this position could lead to higher expectations as the years go on as the company is a high growth/acquisition based company. Just looking for thoughts on this. I have a young family and enjoy my free time , but the money would be nice. But is it even that much I keep asking myself for the expectations, responsibility, travel, stress, etc. Tough decisions to make. Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks
