I quit but they gave me a counter offer. Im taking less pay and less stress at the new job but it doesnt really help my career. It may help my sanity though... Hmmm what do you guys think?

Less pay with less stress is not a bad deal dude! What i would suggest you is to consider the new work environment. How your new colleagues are towards you and how well you will be able to adjust with them as compared to old ones. Moreover career growth is vital when you consider to stay with a company for a longer period of time.
And don't make yourself a cheap commodity for your employers but groom yourself to be a valuable and versatile asset who can be used in different areas whenever required and too hard to be laid off!
Be choosy at times when it comes to career growth and money. Try to strike a balance between the two.

Well consider it a layover. Look for a new job and while you are looking, you can still afford to eat. But keep your mouth shut. Your current employers don't need to know you are shopping around for other work. Also never burn bridges. When you do leave, leave on good terms so if you need to go back you can.
Yeah, you got to bite your tongue a lot but that's part of being a professional. Like my old teach used to say "Smile at them and think it, don't say it". Best advice I ever got! I wish I had taken it more often.

Hard to say, but I live in California. I would go for the money and benefits if I had to choose. It's too expensive out here to work for sanity and less pay. Good luck!!

Your journey is in comparison to mine. I certainly have oftentimes discovered human beings unwilling to alter strategies. As they have authority and you do no longer, your determination is in many cases to settle for the working circumstances as is, or circulate away. because of fact that they are providing you with a circulate to a distinctive branch, i'd think of i'd supply the recent branch a brilliant gamble - they did respond on your concerns.

Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate.
If you're so valuable to your old employers, then push for better conditions. In the meantime try to keep the new job on hold.

Go to your new job and tell them your old job is offering you more money and see if your new job will offer you more.
