Ok 🐠! I need some advice please. Do I stay at a job with work that I loathe, but have amazing work/life balance? Or take the job with the want, knowing it will mean the end of leaving at 5??

Stay. If you can leave at five and no one is firing you , you have found the holy grail. It’s just a job

What’s more important to you at this point in your life? If it’s career, go to the new place. If it’s life, stay at your job, or find a comparable one somewhere else. Bit nothing wrong with admitting you don’t want to work like a maniac.

How old are you? If you are relatively young and you want to make more money, grow and learn, by all means, leave. If you’re old (like me) work life balance starts to matter a lot more.

Leave. No doubt. You can always leave that job in a year or two if it’s not working out. But at that point you’ll know you could do it, instead of always wondering what might have been.

I am getting a good project in current company where there will be lot of learning
Initially it will be manual and then it will have automation testing. At the same time I have an offer in another company with good package but there won't be much learning compared to the current company project I am yet to get locked. Is learning important and priority for 4.5 years of experience? Or better to go with the high package offer? (Other company offer is from TCS). Your valuable comments would help.

I recently (1+ yr ago) transitioned from consulting to industry. The hours are much better. Total comp is less than what I was making on the consulting side (-15% less). My schedule is much better, and I have a good routine outside of work. However, I don't feel accomplished at my current role and feel like I am not learning as much. I was hoping that I would make up for that comp difference in a year or two but upward mobility seems limited. Is it too soon to look for another job?
