I accepted a new job. My agency had countered and I had a gut feeling to stay, but would be sad about saying no to a new opportunity. But today I felt so much pressure to make a decision I just accepted the job. Now I have a horrible feeling in my stomach and chest. I don’t know what to do. Rescind the offer? 10000% they’ll be pissed

Take time to make a pros and cons list, and have one or two people you trust to review to make sure you're being objective.
It's no good to be pressured into a situation like this, so consider both options as viable.

Why were you looking for new opportunities to begin with?

I mean, I wasn’t. I didn’t apply for this job someone I know put my name in for it. But we had lay offs recently so I felt the need to interview and network

Update?

Hi All! Looking for some advice. I am a manager a country club but I do everything. I’m in charge of outside events and member events, in charge of the front of house staff, scheduling, ordering and membership sales for the club. I feel I am very underpaid at $45k. I do get commission but it’s very low ($10k give or take for the year). I work 6/7 days a week sometimes 10+ hrs/day. I’ve been researching salaries to be able to negotiate higher pay. I want to ask for $60k-is this reasonable?
