I'm considering a job opportunity with a major tech company that could significantly boost my salary from the high five figures to six figures. The catch is that the position requires me to work overnight shifts on-site in a high-pressure environment, with my days off being Monday and Tuesday. The pay increase is at least $30k negotiable, but I would have to adjust my lifestyle significantly. Currently, I have a comfortable 9-5 job that I excel at, with optional remote work, a short commute, and a $25 lunch stipend. I'm also stepping back into an industry I've been away from for a year, which adds to my uncertainty. My partner is not thrilled about the potential changes to our lifestyle, including less time together and more meals alone. Financially, I'm in a good place with no debt, a partner who earns more than I do, and savings that cover six times my current salary across various accounts. I'm torn between the allure of a prestigious role and the comfort of my current job. What would you do in my situation?
