Lifestyle vs purposeful job? I am currently working for a job I dislike and where I see no purpose but it gives me all freedom and flexibility to live in my favourite place and country. Now I got a job offer for a purposeful NGO with a major career advancement (role) but in a place I don’t see myself happily living. No remote possible with this one. What’s your advice?

What’s more important? Satisfying work or satisfying time outside of work? You may also be able to find enjoyment in unique ways at the new job too, though.

I have a job interview today that I’m actually nervous about. That’s a good sign right? All my other ones I was dreading or just wanted to skip. I’ve only been jobless for 2 weeks - I would like more time, but this is a company and boss that we’ve been dancing around each other for about a year. And they have a position open at the same time I need a job.
