Hello PF,
I have been working at the same company for 6 years and they have treated me good. But I have ran into a weird problem. A lot of colleagues have left over the years making me a “veteran” after only six years. I am tired of this role, everyone including my superiors and manager come to me when they have an issue. Even if it has nothing to do with my expertise. Since I understand how my company works, I give them past examples and good advice. This has turned into an environment where I am unofficially calling shots that I should have no authority over. I can never get my own work done because I am keeping my department afloat.
I just got a job offer from another company at 85k. This is 15k more than my current base salary. This company has everything I want, and most importantly, I will be part of a team that does the same work as me. Nothing else, just what is in our job description. So what’s the problem? It effectively doubles my commute to an hour and 10 minutes, one way. I told them I would decline based on distance alone, and came back with a 100k offer!
Am I insane for turning this down? Or will the commute get to me eventually? Some advice please.
Moving is out of the question for at least another year, as I don’t want to sell my newly purchased house and get hit with a capital gains tax.
