I found a job opening which pays more with less working hours. However, I'm currently employed with someone whom I have been working with for five years, and if Ieave my current situation, he'll be without a vital employee which is greatly needed within this field. Should I look after number one, or should I stay?

YOU SHOULD DO BOTH. Let him know that you have decided to take the other job however you will not leave immediately. take the time to train the new employee and then leave. I would accept the other job first, then tell your boss that you will gladly train the new person. That is if he hires someone within the time frame of your new start date. you guys should be able to work that out

I would apply for the new job and see if this is something you would like. Then if it looks like a good option for you after you have an interview, I would also have a heart to heart with your employer to discuss why you want to leave. Perhaps there is a way for you to get what you want at your current employer. If you like the current job and the pay and current hours are what will cause you to leave, see if your current employer is willing to make some concessions to keep you on.

You should do whatever makes you the happiest. I quit my job after 3 years, but I should have left a lot earlier because I thought that I was trully needed in my position, but it turns out that my boss thought I was a waste of space. If switching jobs would make you happy, then go for it. Remember, everyone can be replaced if the need arises.

I think you should ALWAYS look out for number one.
If you were that vital, your boss should pay you a LOT more.
But I would be somewhat wary of this new job...
Better pay with less hours...I would check out the job and the organization more closely.

you should talk to your boss. obviously you have a good relationship. he may be willing to make some concessions in order to get you to stay with him. if he isn't able to cut your hours, maybe he could pay you more money. another option would be more benefits, such as extra vacation time or long weekends once a month. if this is impossible offer him 2 weeks notice to train your replacement. good luck whichever you choose.

why should you switch jobs?Think it over.
Two things you have to think over before switching to another jobs.
Are you happy with you job? Do you get the money for the work you do and you get along well with others? Is the company stable?
If you get all YES as answers to these questions, then stay with your job, If most answers are "NO" then think about it seriously
and weigh the positive and negative sides.GOOD LUCK!

All depends on how much you need the money and the fewer hours from the other job...and how fulfilled you are at the one you are presently at. Ultimately though? Yes...look out for number one.

If the new job is an advancement, go for it. Your responsibility is to yourself first. Good luck with your decision.

Use your job offer to get more money from your current employer.
