Would you take a job that doubled your salary even if you didn't know if it was the best fit or role for your skill set? Would also be a title ⬆️

There is no best fit. Stop looking for the perfect opportunity, no job lasts forever. Take the money, be flexible, learn new skills, apply your current skills and your intellect, and make some awesome stuff. Then leave and double your salary again.

Nope. You'd be miserable and starting over again someplace new within a year. It's not just great work you seek, it's great people. Sometime they can outweigh the crappy work.

Depends. If the role was enough to feel uncomfortable but grow into then yes. If the role had nothing to do with my discipline, then no.

Oh hell yes. Don't underestimate yourself. If the people who offered you the job think you're qualified enough to offer you the position, trust that they're right.

If I knew 100% I wasn't prepared for it, no. You don't want to be known as the one who sucks at their job.

Does anyone still care about titles these days?

^ACD 🙌🏽

I did it. I wasn't 100% prepared, but I knew I had 80% of the necessary skills and a supportive manager. Best decision of my life.

How is this a question? Yes. Just yes.
