Deal or No Deal

I had a sleepless night last night. I kept on thinking what developments had transpired yesterday, and up until now my mind is still very confused. You see, yesterday i have received a phone call from another company, asking me to join them. IMMEDIATELY. I was a little rattled because first I wasn't really looking for a new job. It just so happened that my good friend and our principal sponsor needed a replacement (he is moving to another company, and I think another country!) and he has given my name (among others) and contact number to their President. Apparently they got interest in me (my friend has given them my short background), so they called me for some initial talks. The President asked for my CV, and so I sent them mine. After a couple of minutes, he called again and confirmed they want me for the job.

Now I am really confused. I have been in my company for more than 2 years now, and though stressful as it is, I am enjoying my current job. The company is very stable, with a little above average when it comes to compensation and benefits.

The new company on the other hand, though has been in the industry for quite a while, has only started its operations here for 1 year. Position offered is almost the same as my current postion, plus more. Basically they need someone to head their operations here in Manila. from there I would be trained and groomed for further career advancement. Salary-wise, my yearly net income would be the same as my yearly gross income in my current company.

Sounds good, noh?

But of course, I am still a bit hesitant. I enjoy working with my colleagues here. My boss is very supportive and i have learned a lot from him. The company itself is a good company.

I asked Dear Hubby what he thinks, and he gave me his honest answer. He's proud of me, but I should also consider the time I would allot to our family. That it shouldn't rob me of my time with them. Honestly, he said that he is also earning and he can support the family even without me working that much. But it is still up to me, because he doesn't want me to decide on something I don't want. He will fully support me in whatever decision I would make.

I'm in the office right now, getting teary-eyed.

Gash, I don't know what to do.
