I’ve been offered 2 very different jobs – and I’m getting a lot of flack for choosing the one that’d make me happier

I'm lucky enough to have 2 jobs on the table for consideration – both equal in pay. Both have opportunies to grow and develop. 1 is: in the field I am qualified in in a very outstretched organisation, busy and stressful work life long hours in an office strict about holiday leave etc Good pension, no other benefits 2 is: flexible WFH associated with my career/quals but not as strong able to bring a dog to work excellent benefits include pension more relaxed/casual atmosphere Throughout the interview process #2 has been a clear winner in my eyes due to its work/life balance. Everyone I speak to my age (30s) is very pro #2 but all my older family are taking dooks on it…. like the better job is #1 because its harder work and therefore more valid.

I'm lucky enough to have 2 jobs on the table for consideration – both equal in pay. Both have opportunies to grow and develop.

1 is:

  • in the field I am qualified in
  • in a very outstretched organisation, busy and stressful work life
  • long hours in an office
  • strict about holiday leave etc
  • Good pension, no other benefits

2 is:

  • flexible WFH
  • associated with my career/quals but not as strong
  • able to bring a dog to work
  • excellent benefits include pension
  • more relaxed/casual atmosphere

Throughout the interview process #2 has been a clear winner in my eyes due to its work/life balance. Everyone I speak to my age (30s) is very pro #2 but all my older family are taking dooks on it…. like the better job is #1 because its harder work and therefore more valid.

When will people begin to understand that my main priority with a job is to maximise the hours I'm NOT There! I'm going to choose a Job that gives me flexibility and the potential to have more energy on my off time due to work life = easier!

Easy does not equal crappie job. Literally no one cares if you work hard. Pay your bills and that's it.
