Should I Trade Flexibility for a Bigger Paycheck?

I've been at my current job for almost two years, and just when I thought I’d plateaued, I landed a 70% raise—thanks to some not-so-subtle negotiation tactics. But now, another company is dangling an even shinier carrot: 15% more base pay, a 10% annual bonus, and a fancy new title. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Here’s the catch: my current gig is super chill. My boss barely checks in, I can work at my own pace, and taking time off is as easy as sending a text. The new job? More money, but it’s overtime exempt and I’d probably be buried in work. Is a fatter paycheck worth sacrificing my sanity and work-life balance? With rent and groceries eating up my wallet, I’m tempted. But am I crazy for hesitating? Has anyone else faced this dilemma? I’d love to hear your advice before I make a move I might regret. 🤔💼 #CareerDecisions #WorkLifeBalance #JobOffers #JobCareer
