Started a new job three months ago and have liked it so far, it’s not in an industry that I am passionate about but the pay is good, great WLB and the team has been fantastic.

I have an offer to switch to an industry I love and am passionate about for a slight pay increase (10%) and a title bump. WLB will probably be a little worse, but I see myself being more motivated to pursue a long time career there.

Don’t know what to do. Anyone has any advice?

3 months is short enough where you could just omit from your resume. Would be a harder story to tell down the line if you only stayed for a year and jumped ship.

Do it for the career goals not the 10% raise but make sure you understand wlb implications

I wouldn't underestimate the value of having a great team you like!

I've tried getting a +50% bump to join a new company, only to find it had terrible culture and those I had to work with daily really sucked (and got fired after I left).

Was the most money I had made at the time, but also the most shitty I've felt. Simply isn't worth it.
