1st job has poor work/life balance reputation (corp. retail) but new ownrshp's strategy is to be better on valuing their people's time. They've made some changes for me to be in a good position, but moral is low and no guarntee this top mngmt will value our time. Big bonus opportnty, more decision making here and in the title of responsibilty I want. 2nd job has modrn approach on work/life balance (unique retail format (web/tv)) but would start out in a position that would be very time intensive on family time and not my passion, but "could" lead to my desired position. No guarntee that I would get in this position, but if I did (which is why I am interested in it) long term is better on family/life balance. Less bonus and in a fast growing phase. Gross salaries are pretty close. To make it more difficult..I accpted 1st job offer and have start date coming up & 2nd offer I have been persuing for 6 months & finally just got offer & they matched my countr offer. WHAT TO DO????

I agree with Joe, but add to the considerations which one you think you will be happier doing. I have had some high paying jobs that I hated, and there was no amount of money that could have made it worthwhile. Life is too short to do something you are miserable doing.

You are to put the two jobs on a scale: (1) What are the advantages of the first one with the second one - salary, closeness to your house, closing time, other benefits. job security (how secure is the job) weigh them in your scale of comparison. Before you make your choice.
