I work for a small company in a role I kind of fell into (and I am lucky for that). My team is great, they have their issues like any team and the job is pretty flexible, but I really don’t like what I do and I don’t see a a future unless I want to grow in supply chain. I have a final interview at another company in a sales roll, not a dream job but the team is great (have a friend who used to be on this team) and it’s at a huge company with TONS of opportunities (continued in comments)

(CONT) and I would be paid my worth. It checks a lot of boxes that I’m looking for in a role but I’m worried about leaving a company that treats me pretty well, the team is great, flexible, good benefits, etc. Any advice or things to help me process this?

To be clear, I do not want to grow in supply chain

This is a great question! One approach I would take is taking an inventory of your personal values. In 5 years time, which opportunity will allow you to live in alignment with those values? Additionally, it seems you aren’t excited by getting into a sales role. What about that work feels off to you? Sometimes our greatest achievements are outside our comfort zones. Is your apprehension coming from having to do a new type of job?

It’s actually a sales support position and I am excited about it! Maybe not a dream role but it’s a way better fit than what I’m doing now (which truthfully I hate). And it’s a different challenge with more opportunities to grow within that company, something I don’t have now.
When thinking about my values my current job technically fits those, but I think this new company would also align in this as well.
