Got the offer from Toshiba but there will be a background check. So let's see what happens. Another place did the reference check so that's good.
Place number 3 is still interviewing.
I have a question:
From what you've heard about my workplave, would you take slightly less money to leave, or stick it out for a better deal?
Edit: Thank you everyone for your opinions and insights. I'll probably take a lesser contract if it gets me out of here. Admittedly, since I stopped caring whatsoever about my work (still up to standard though), I've felt a shit tonne better. I no longer have any personal stake in it.
Take less.
If my brain is functioning, apparently 80k is the happiness mark, beyond that it pretty much remains the same. There are also endless stories of people who had immensely well paying jobs who have taken drastic pay cuts and blue collar jobs and are exponentially happier.
While I’m in an odd sort of position, dropping a day when I was permanent to converting to casual and finally going elsewhere… So much happier. So much. (There were a couple extra things going on, but still. That feeling that you have to be there, when you don’t want to… Ugh.)
