Job I think I'll like or money?

Long story short I find myself in a situation where I agreed to a new job and would start next week but another has come in offering more cash. Looking like it'll be up to $25k more

But I think i'll like the other one better. Wat do misc?

Ask the job you like to bump your pay given the other offer...you got big balls right?

You need to find a mix between the 2, but definitely need to consider doing something that you like/enjoy or you'll hate your life.

Past a certain point, more money does not equal more better.

thats ultimately the plan I think, but they may very well just say no. And then I have to go to the other you know?

My balls are gigantic but not sure if that's going to work.

Agree 100% but they're sweetening the deal so much its harder to turn down. the difference now would basically cover my mortgage for a year

I don’t hate my job but don’t exactly like it.

The money is great and it outweighs any thoughts of trying to find something I like.

I’ve found the right balance for me.

Are the jobs very different?

$25k is $25k but not everyone can do something they don’t like.

I can lol.

I have always been told that you will never truly be successful until you find a career doing what you truly love to do... something you are passionate about. But seems as if some go for a fkn lifetime without ever achieving this goal so my advice would be...

When you are young... fk bitches acquire currency by any means necessary... establish yourself and then figure out what the end goal is going to be.

They're the same field but different focuses and responsibilities. I dont necessarily know for sure I'll like either one or I may like both. I'm just guessing in the end since either would be a new thing, but definitely seems like the lower pay one is more of what I'd like.
