Here is my dilemma…I have a great job and love the management and the people I work with. I was recently offered a similar position with a more “hip” company for 20k more. The last I job hopped like this it was a disaster and sent me down a path of many years of poor jobs and lousy pay. I am really excited about this new position because it’s a different industry and seems like a great fit but frankly I’m scared. Thoughts?

I totally understand your feelings. Would you be able to get some insight from others who know more about that company?

Honestly, I would weigh the decision to change companies very carefully. I recently started a new position and regret it. If you love the job, the management, and the people in the current position, is the move worth the risk?
I have a VERY mean spirited co-worker that I work closely with ina very stressful environment. I would give anything to have a great job and empathetic management!

Outside of pay and "hip", what are some other factors that make the other job attractive to you? Professional development, role, promotion to grow.. I would see if those are stronger than where you are currently. That can help you make the decision.
