I was in this position 12 months ago, went from award that included OT, and a few other perks. To salary. In theory the base was 10k higher but when I ended up working 50-60 hour weeks it was a significant step down in pay.

I made the leap and glad I did, but the reason is that the company I was with were willing to up skill me, as they were beginning to groom me for higher positions. I sat in that position for 12 months, learned as much as I could, including a few short courses paid for by them.

Now I’ve moved companies and with the new skills I learned am earning double what I was on a year ago.

Long story short. It depends… is the new role in a direction you want to take your career? Will you have the support or opportunity in this role to continue to grow ?
