[quote=Anonymous]Hi, all.

First, I want to say that I know I'm incredibly lucky to have a job and the opportunity for a new job. That is not lost on me. But I'm having a hard time deciding whether I really want the new job, which pays just slightly more than what I make now (even after negotiating).

In my current job, I know the work and do it well. I work from home, which is a HUGE plus to me (mom to two young kids). But there's no room for advancement. I'm not looking to have some big title and manage a bunch of people, but I do want to feel like I'm growing and progressing.

In the new job, I'd be working in an office (though people there generally work from home typically one day a week). I'd be learning new skills, with a phenomenal team. And there is potential for moving up in the organization, which is attractive.

Given that the pay/compensation is so similar, I guess it boils down to the lure of working from home versus the possibility of career advancement.

Who among you has faced this decision? Please share your thoughts!

Thanks.[/quote]
