ok...

please vote A or B

A. move to new job. pays more...like a lot more (like seriously, 40k more). does NOT pay for vacation time. potentially decently UNDERqualified and that poses some serious risk for sure. might be awesome experience to add to resume and new contacts and exposure etc. might have to use own laptop as opposed to being given one which would suck for checking email/lit/banking/spotify/youtube etc.. bigname client. been working on landing this job for about four months or so.

B. stay at current job. work on different project with different team. pay is still quite good just not elite. does pay vacation like a full-time job (not contract etc). last project didnt work out for variety of factors so maybe there is a "flag" in your file. new project sounds right up yer alley. work in a "silo" of sorts,s o you arent depending on tons of people which could be a good or bad thing.
That is a bit of a quandary…. Both have positives and negatives. If possible “flag” doesn’t do anything, B sounds satisfying without being UNDERqualified which could lead to some serious issues. Not saying that you’re not capable, just don’t want you getting burnt out catching up, so to speak.

You could always go with my method of decision making:

at this point is money and or advancement very important to you? if so take a risk bet on yourself as the kids say and take A if not stay where you are and take B it is a very tough choice

Remember fortune tends to favor the brave or the bold

A. If I were early in my career. It is the time to take chances.
B. If I am 35, married, with kids.

A. If I am 55 and nearing the end of my worklife and kids are gone, maybe spouse has benefits.
 
I’d go with A in your circumstances. As others have said it’s a good time to risk it.

Don’t worry too much about being under qualified, it’s amazing how many people are bluffing it and hiding their imposter syndrome in all sorts of roles.

Once you’ve made that step once, you’ve lifted all your future opportunities up a level too.

Take the gamble, save as much as you can from those bigger pay checks to cover yourself if things go (glorious) tits up.

I would add an option. C: Get naked and smoke pot. This is always the best in my opinion.
 
👅I am picky. Also semi-recently single...so theres that...dont need to jump into it again with someone who doesnt check some of the boxes
I'm sure you'll find someone who does tick all your boxes ... Personally I'd love to lick a couple myself 👿
How I feel about today...and maybe for a few years...

Kinda dont give a f if this alienates some of you...

Some of us Brits really wonder what the fuck happened over there and now Mr Orange is already showing he's lost the plot :oops:
And I'd like to feel @LilKitKat naked in my hot tub while you guys watch...😜🤣
I'm up for that! How much is a ticket? :ROFLMAO:
ok in the interest of

1. not making my thread political and alienating some ppl
and
2. having some new followers/friends/fans who missed out on some of my content...here is a repost of one that some seemed to enjoy

https://ibb.co/CMLkndt
Another "Scratch and Sniff" patch? Rather have a "Scratch and Lick" 👅👅👅

May I say your thread is just one hell of a fun ride! And you're gorgeous of course :love:😘
 
one main issue is...its a contract. obviously the higher pay is tough to beat. its not a couple k, its 40! but i could be out of it in 6 months or something. so thats also something to consider.
While you are young and do not have the kids or other things that might require some level of stability, you have this opportunity to stretch out your wings a bit. I'd have to go with option A, but paid vaca is a good thing to have in your back pocket. 😉😉

I think A sounds like a. Good option however if they are big, surely a laptop can be negotiated.

Fake it till you make it. You're a smart human with drive, you'll work it out!

B. I don't trust contract work, and yes I've done a bunch of it.

You said you've been working on this opportunity for four months, and now you potentially have it. During those 4 months, has you interest or enthusiasm for it changed? What made you go for it in the first place? If that passion is still there, go for it.

I don't know how old you are, but as someone did say, if you don't have kids and a marriage that relies on your support, this is the time to take risks. I have in the past, some worked, some didn't. However, if could be the lesson that you take into future decision making, and it is important to try things.

If you don't take it, will you always wonder 'what if?'. If it doesn't work out, is there a chance your current employer values you enough to take you back?

The jump in money is big, and while not everything, it is always helpful. You can use it to buy a new laptop as a start? Then you don't have the juggling issue.

The vacation time etc.. is a bummer, but sometimes you have to jump and see what happens.

There is a reason you looked at another job, so is staying where you are really an option? Or are you actually unhappy/unsatisfied, in which case, that may not change.

Sorry, I'm rambling and probably haven't helped at all!

How easy is it to get non contract work or even another contract job once you are done. Do you need a biweekly paycheck or will you be okay without for a while if you complete new job and need to find new work. If you can withstand being out of work financially for a while and you have no real obligations that make it so you shouldn't take a risk take a risk and see especially since you have worked hard for it.

But if there is a need for a paycheck and you can't be without it might not be worth the risk.

That said you seem smart and motivated so I don't see any issue with the new job.
 
Lots of good questions, comments and general input.
I will still wait until any official paperwork comes through.

Option A has some serious positives and negatives, as does B.
My interest hasnt waned in A.
B is showing their support of me by trying to find me a better project/position.

I am almost hoping to take A, and tell B Id like to come back if that option exists down the road. It would kind of keep the doors open. If I take B and its not an ideal fit, or if I flail, then Id be let go and A might not exist anymore, not sure.
Also with B, they have to pitch me to the client (along with 1 or 2 others), so the client may not even pick me, they make take someone else. B is a consulting position.
Essentially, I work for consulting company X, but have been "hired" to work on super big company Y.
Option A is hired by recruiting company to be a contractor with big company Z, and working on a project for some random smaller company, and potentially for various other smaller companies. Kind of like as a consultant as well actually.

I do currently have a 401k. Its just ok, not as good as a company I worked for previously.
I actually dont know all options for A, but am supposed to find out everything in the next 24-48 hours etc.

Its quite a conundrum if you ask me. Neither is ideal and neither is a bad choice.

I'm sure you have a gut feeling on what you would rather do. I have made these kind of chouces in the past, sometimes it worked out sometimes it didn't. As long as you are going forward it's ok. Something will always turn up and it sounds like you are a pesron who looks for opportunity.
You are young with a hot body so enjoy life
 
Sorry for making you all think about work and finances and such and not...something sexual etc.
Hope you dont mind!
No problem. I had a crush on a co-worker. She looked good in her uniform. You made me think of her.

I would pick B. I need a steady predictable income at this pointin life with the family etc..

Not at all!

Glad to along for that part of your journey as well. There’s so much more to you than just something sexual etc. Least we can do is be respectful and give honest (well, forget the Magic 8 Ball) opinions when you ask.

You are pretty cool, after all.
 
Very nice indeed. As are your legs.

Can't say I have a foot fetish but they are your feet and that makes them hot as ....

Talk to your current work. Tell them about this opportunity. Leave on a good note and tell them if things don’t work out you would like the chance to return.
