[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I have a second interview on Friday for a position as a leasing consultant, as well as another interview for an admin position (receptionist at a dental office).  Both are pretty entry-level.  Leasing consultant position has a catty atmosphere, poor management, office politics, BUT it's a huge company with room to grow (and apartments all over the country, not that I plan any long distance moves, but good to know).  I got all of this from doing lots of research online and asking around.
Dental office position is basically a receptionist, small office, family practice.  Not really any room to grow.  But the place has amazing reviews, warm atmosphere, and the dentist (there's only one) is very nice.
I don't know about the pay yet.  I believe leasing consultant is around $35k and receptionist is probably the same, but again I won't know until I dig a little more and during the interview.
At my nanny position I am making $42k plus bonuses and I work overtime sometimes.  It's laid-back, the parents are amazing, and I pretty much run the show as I please.

Thoughts on all of this?  Of course I know just because I have an interview doesn't mean squat.
But, just playing along, is it stupid of me to take a significant pay cut, to essentially be a receptionist (in a nice environment but with no real room for growth) or as a leasing consultant (in a catty atmosphere, but potentially room to grow)?  I really am happy with my employers and work environment now, but I am also really antsy to quit the childcare field.
Both of those positions have very good benefits which helps with the lower pay.  Also, many people start out as admins right?  I guess I'm just looking for more advice.[/quote]
