I work in Finance as a junior data analyst interacting mostly with finance ERP systems started 6 months ago with a salary of 63k. I got an offer from oil and gas company to work in HR technology with salary 68k. Is it worth it to leave my current job? I work from home and I go to the office once or twice a month, while the new job will be only 2 days from home. Any advice would greatly help

That doesn't seem like enough. Consider gas, parking and hasle of going into office. The other factor is what skills, databases, tools are at each company. Maybe try to negotiate more. The other question is long term and which industry do you like more.

We can’t tell you what you’d be happier doing or excel at. Look at job descriptions of executives in both areas - so the level you’d want to be at in 20 years. What is the path you would need to take to get there, so roadmap it out. What appeals to you? Take a career assessment test, talk to a mentor or professor you were close to and ask what qualities they see in you.

Neither are recession proof and both are subject to layoffs.

It depends on how much you like your current job. You have to weigh the importance of each factor and base your decision on that. Also, if you feel like you’re well liked and valued a lot by your current employer, you could mention to your supervisor or HR rep about the offer to see if they’d consider matching it or giving you a raise to help bridge the difference.
Also, consider the expense of driving and how much time it takes. If you take the rate of 50 or 60 cents a mile, or whatever that rate is, then take the additional miles you would drive to work and back… just to simplify the math, let’s say it’s 50 cents a mile and a 20 mile drive one way. So 40 miles a day extra driving, times 50 cents, is $20 a day. So say it works out to 20 days a month of additional driving. That’s 400 bucks a month, or $5,000 a year. That’s the difference in the wage, or something thereabouts I believe. I hope this helps!

My bad, it would be $4,800 not $5,000, but you I’m sure understand the point of that. Best wishes!
