Career Decision - Detangled
So I'm thinking about the job offer but I'm not sure. The salary is good, well better than my current job anyway, but not like amazing. It's in a different city which could be exciting but also scary because I don't know anyone there except my cousin who lives an hour away. My current job is fine but there's no growth and my manager is kind of difficult. But I've been here three years and I'm comfortable. The new role is more responsibility which is good for my career probably but what if I'm not ready. My partner is supportive but also nervous about moving. We could do long distance for a bit? But that didn't work last time. Although this time is different maybe. The company seems stable but you never know. Benefits are similar. I'd be closer to the mountains which I've always wanted. But leaving my friend group. And my therapist. Would have to find a new therapist. Is this the right move? What if I regret it. What if I regret NOT taking it.Title: Job Offer Decision - New City Move
Summary:
Weighing job offer in different city. Salary better than current (not amazing but improved). New role offers more responsibility and career growth potential. Current job has limited advancement and difficult manager, but comfortable after 3 years. Major concerns: leaving support system (friends, therapist), relationship logistics with partner (past long-distance didn't work), unknown city (only know cousin an hour away). Positives: mountains proximity (always wanted), stable company, partner supportive but nervous.
Core Trade-Off:
Career growth vs. personal stability and relationships
Pros of Taking Job:

- Closer to mountains
- Escape difficult current manager
Cons of Taking Job:

Questions to Clarify:
- Can negotiate remote work or flexible relocation timeline?
- Is partner willing to move eventually vs. permanent long distance?
- What's timeline to decide?
Tasks:
[ ] List specific career growth opportunities in new role
[ ] Research therapists in new city
