Worked my way up through the various levels to where I am now. Have an opportunity to make a lateral move within the same organization. Should be a much "easier" road, less stress, frankly less work, fewer obligations outside of normal hours, slightly shorter commute. Slightly shorter regular work hours, same base pay and benefits, but will probably lose out on a couple little extra opportunities here and there. I'm starting to feel a little burned out, so I find it hard to think I'll be able to stay in the current job until retirement but who knows. Downside? (Possibly) burning some bridges at the current location, where I've built up a fair amount of good will. Possibility that this new department goes away at pretty much any time, in which case I'll get rotated back into a job like the one I have now, but not likely at my current location and possibly one that I really dislike. I don't know how to figure this out. Essentially, in the grand lounge "how hot" scheme of things, my current job is a 7, the new job is a 9 maybe a 9.5, but if it goes bad I could have to serve out my sentence in a 4. Sage advice?
