There’s a position I’m considering that would broaden my responsibilities a lot, but also clearly increase workload. My current job is manageable but stagnant. I’m stuck between growth and burnout risk. How did you tell when a stretch role was actually too much?

I agree with the comment above, it definitely depends on what the pay is looking like. If it is going to raise your base salary significantly, I would go for it. Otherwise you are going to start to feel stuck at your current company.

Is the raise significant enough to justify an increase in workload? Do you feel like you can mentally handle more on your plate? Are you interested in the position? A stagnant job seems dull to me, but what’s your gut telling you?

Like others said it definitely would have a lot to do with money.

At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
