Would you guys think it’s worth taking a job that’s 56k vs 44k that’s way more responsibility and stress just to fire quicker?

Current job is amazing, get to play football with young people and help them get jobs. Lot of freedom, not much management involvement - I’m regional manager with enough free time to join in with the on the ground staff that do the football/career guidance.

Waiting on a head of charity position, still with young people. It’ll be tons more work, responsibility and pressure.

Fire wise I could probably be ready to fire at 57 compared to 53ish if I took the new one.

I know a lot of you guys have had high level jobs, thinking back would you have traded all that for a more enjoyable role and a few years more working?

If I were to fire today, I’d still probably do the job I currently do (or even drop down a seniority).

Been trying to find these for years. Was subscribed on a YouTube account I can’t get into anymore.

2 different channels if anyone can help. Going back 15 years here so details limited:

Channel 1
Sounded like a frat guy, would talk girls and life. Not that focused on gameplay or anything. One specific thing I remember is he did a video duel wielding fm63s and called them “Akimbo kitchens”. Faceless channel

Channel 2
Was a group of mid 30-40 year old men, all had. Separate channels but made videos together. Would talk about their lives and wives. Specific thing I remember was that one spoke about for his birthday his wife sat on his face. Pretty sure it was faceless channel and had 3/4 on them.

Both would be pretty small channels, channel 2 maybe getting a bit bigger

Looking for some advice for making a pros/cons list.

Currently working in legitimately the best (for the most part) job ever. I’m regional manager for a charity helping young people into work through sports/education. Earning 43k. Completely run my own schedule or where I’m at. It’s fun, I’m good at it. The pressure makes it interesting. Several times a week my job allows me to play football with young adults, it’s great.

I’m currently waiting on result of a final stage for Head of Charity role. Similar industry minus the sports. Will still be working with young people supporting in the same way. Big difference is it’s the most senior position in the company (small charity). But will obviously be massive career step up with loads more responsibility - all of which I do in a more local, none directorial position here. Salary though is 56k. Commute and everything else is exactly the same.

To get to that level in current job would take ten years of annual increases if I’m lucky, unlikely to move up in this role and seniority wise would be 3 promotions up (currently doubtful the 3 people in them roles would leave anytime soon if ever)

Any insight on giving up a job you love for significantly more pay?

I’m sure I’d enjoy the new role too but I’ve never been in a position where I’d even consider staying at the current role.

This opportunity came to me, wasn’t looking but couldn’t pass up an opportunity. Currently down to the final 2 out of over 100 applicants. Had my interview and my meeting with the board.
