[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Struggling with a career move and could use some advice.

My current job is a "dream job" in many ways... amazing flexibility, great pay and pretty unparalleled benefits, lots of autonomy and good colleagues.  BUT I have hit a ceiling, both in terms of promotion, challenge, and pay... and I work in a very small industry where I know I do not want to spend the rest of my career.  And this all means I am bored, and I am at the point in my life (kids getting older and more independent) that I am looking for a new challenge.

I have the opportunity to make a change to a bigger, more wide-ranging organization in a big, multi-faceted role.  It is a big pay increase, but benefits are not as good and there is significantly less flexibility.  The increased pay would allow me to outsource more, but the reduced flexibility would mean some changes in the way my house runs.  There is tremendous opportunity for growth in this new role, and it's a chance to build something new.  Of course, that comes with risks - both in terms of job security and potential satisfaction.  That said, it is very exciting and I am really ready for something new.

So, DCUM career gurus, what do you say?  Stay safe and bored or take the jump?[/quote]
Can you elaborate on the job security risks? Are you in a gov role now and going private or something similar?[/quote]
