Help - Confused!

Is it worth taking for a short period of time to embellish your CV so you could then move onto doing something closer but similar?

That's what I'm thinking but it is going to be a struggle in terms of money.. trying the weigh out the pros and cons!

Well with most decisions in life I find it's helpful to write down a list of all the pros and cons so you can see them clearly in front of you, then you can work from there

It would seem the decision boils down to two options.

You are currently on a higher salary with a much shorter commuting distance.

You have been offered a job on a lower salary with a longer commuting distance, yet the experience is something that you're interested in and the role will potentially lead to a better paid role in the same field.

You clearly are interested in the marketing job, as otherwise you would have ruled it out for the practical reasons should you not be that fussed.

Perhaps the best way to put it is the short term gain of the shorter commute and higher salary, versus the long term gain of a higher salary in a field that interests you more greatly.

You must have had a gut feeling when offered the stated job, and I would probably follow that feeling.

Hey, thanks for your reply =) That is very much true! What I'm thinking is whether to keep looking for something closer and let this pass, hoping I would find something soon or should I hustle for a year lol.

I don't know much about marketing so couldn't really comment, but is the company you've been offered a job by a decent firm?

If yes, it might be worth playing the waiting game. I say this as you're clearly desirable enough to be offered this job, so you should be desirable to other marketing firms.

Guess, ultimately, if in a year you're in the same job you're in now, would you be miffed? That's what it comes down to.
