I have to choose:

- A job with more money but also more stress, and conflicts with management and stuff

or

- A job with considerably less money (25-30% less) but with less stress, more respect plus more free time..
(still above average, I'm a MD)

What would you do ?

I see you are trying to pull a "sementaste".....

more money is always better

but depends on your financial situation and personal preference

Dr Dutch · « **Reply #7 on:** February 08, 2012, 01:36:48 PM »

No help at all, but thanks for the response. I think I will go for the worst payed one, and build it up from there. Of course it'll give me more time to work out...why didn't you morons mention that immediately?

Some of the best times in my life were when I didn't have shit for money. I've taken positions were I was making more then I knew what to do with because I didnt have the time or energy to spend it. Imagine having a job were your so stressed out you just want to go home and grab a bottle of whisky. Forget days off you just want to sleep. No energy or motivation to go to the gym. Fuck that noise. I'd rather make a few 'sacrifices' and enjoy the hell out of my life.

If this is a dilemma for you, I think you've already chosen.

B. Less work=better live. There is no honor in over working. Thats all BS that capitalism wants to impose on free men. Enslave them in endless working hours selling them the idea of 'dignity' 'pride'. All lies.

I hope you picked less stress. I made the mistake of going the other way 4 years ago. Big money, high profile job, high stress, and I hate this fucking job!!!! Good luck Dutch.

Money is nothing.

I want to work for people! I want to make peoples lives better. Offer them opportunities to enjoy themselves.
well-being of the society is what is pushing me - not the modest financial compensation I get in return.

I can't believe you guys are nursing this wimp through his pathetic decision making process. For an Alpha, less money is out of the question. A real man seizes life's treasures, and runs over anyone who gets in the way. If this fairy even needs to ask whether or not he should make more money then he doesn't deserve it.

u a personal trainer?

Depends on your goals, your financial requirements and personality..

Obviously more money helps, but it always comes at a price. Me personally I moan about the stress in my job but I couldn't do something boring or too easy as it would not stimulate me.

Balance is key... if you find it your a lucky man... however if you can deal with the stress I suggest you take the oppertunity of higher pay and use the extra money which you get from this job wisely (like saving all of it for an early retirement).. hopefully you will live long enough and this investment will pay off for you and you will live out well in your goldern years

I got an offer for a promotion in DC. turned it down for a position that's half as much money. But I get fri-sunday off with ridiculous amounts of vacation and sick time. For some, their jobs are their lives. For me I value my free time so I can do the things I love to do. Some people need the money because they like and do expensive things. Some peoples idea of a great vacation is traveling abroad. My ideal vacation is strapping a tent to the back of my bike and riding cross country(costs me nothing)

And sadly a lot of people want to make a lot of money just so they can drive a fancy car and post pictures of their house on facebook, even though they're miserable as hell.

You really need to decide whats important to you.

I thought you changed from just boring insulting to a bit more witty and humorous...guess I was wrong. I wipe my ass with someone like you, Rimrat.
