Confused

One of the hardest things to say when talking to your boss is when you tell him that there is an offer from another company that you are seriously considering. Well, at least in my case, I had a hard time telling my boss about this offer I received. I made it clear though that I was surprised as well when I received that call, and I wasn't applying to other companies. I could tell from his facial expression that it wasn't really ok for me to leave, if ever. He honestly told me that his advice of course is biased, because he wants me to stay with the team.

After our long talk, I was left confused. I have grown to like this company, but the offer of the other (compensation and opportuunity) is not something that I could easily dismiss. It really is an appealing offer. However there are so many factors I need to consider - the people I would be dealing with, the amount of pressure and time I would devote to this new job with bigger responsibilities, etc., that in the end would tell me whether it really is worth getting into.

Plus there's the Enrique factor. Although he has a disclaimer "I support you all the way and whatever decision you make," he voiced out his concerns such as me possibily having no time for both of them, as well as "you don't have to work that hard because I can support our family" drama.

Part of me is really interested to take this opportunity, but a large part of me says otherwise...

Help me Lord.
