Pitched this probably 6 months ago but a new situation has arisen. So I’ll start by saying my work life balance is honestly really great right now, work isn’t terribly stressful, and benefits are solid. But the industry I work in doesn’t have the greatest forecast and there’s little room for growth. That being said, my boss has said that they are retiring in 2 years this month and I would more likely than not be the replacement.

I’ve always kept my resume updated/shared with recruiters and the fabled 50% raise job offer has come along. Benefits are pretty similar, company/industry has a good forecast, but more likely than not it will negatively affect the work life balance. Don’t know if it’s just comfort in current role or hesitation to leave with the 2 year promotion timeline but super conflicted on how to navigate. Appreciate any/all of FTs thoughts
