Got an unexpected job offer that pays significantly more, but the work sounds less fulfilling. Do I chase the money or stick with what I enjoy?

It all depends on what you are looking for and what your goals are. Only you can make the decision that’s right for you.

Only if the money is life changing

If the work does not fulfill you, you will burnout quicker

You have student loans? If so go for the $. You have the rest of your career to be happy but I’d be happier even at a shitty job if I didn’t have loans.

Money buys happiness

Depends how much more $$. Double or more, go. Less than that, I’d say your happiness is more important

Money.

How much is the new gig?

Depends on what your goals are right now. Money or fulfilling work? Lol

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?
