I work for a great company with pretty decent salary for Florida as a staff accountant in accounts payable. I am making currently $35,000. The benefits are ok, insurance is offered based on a flex pay and you must be there 2 years for the company to pay for their share of the insurance. Vacation is taken within the first 6 months of employment. No year required. They offer tuition reimbursement at 1 year of $3,000 per year cap, and have 10 major holidays like the state does.
Now, there is an opportunity for me to work as an accountant reporting to the controller, but basically managing several different entities and producing financials, for 5 different companies. I have no degree, but at $45,000 (they are offering), that is not bad at all. I have heard alot of people here with degrees only make $10-15K more. I have associates but no bachelors.
The job offers autonomy, some growth, insurance and 100% paid by company, vacation after a year. Would you leave if offered the job??

It seems like a no brainer to us reading this that you would take the job. What I am wondering is if you want this change and are ready for the extra responsibility. You have to know we will all encourage you to move to the higher paying job..but you have to really be the one to understand what you want and move in that direction. It would not be stupid to turn this down if you will not be happy with the work and the benefits. If you are still confused..sit down with a piece of paper and compare both jobs and then sleep on it. We always see things clearer after a good night's sleep and a little soul searching! Good luck!

That's always a tough one and no one except you can make the decision. I suggest you take a notepad and list the pros and cons of each, then you can study your choices. $10,000 difference is quite a bit as well as opportunity for advancement. Your age and goals matter as well. There are alot of things to weigh such as commute, added responsibility (and stress). But if you are young and building a career, it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Sorry if this isn't much help. I hope your choice is the best one for you. Much success!

I think something so drastic as this should be talked with with your partner or family. It sounds like a great opportunity and if it was me and I wasn't married I would be gone.
If you come home from work and kick your dog then the money is not worth it.
I wish you all the best

YOU DIDN'T STATE YOUR AGE OR HOW MUCH LONGER YOU EXPECT TO WORK?
LESS THAN 5 YEARS? NO WAY...
LOOKING AT A LONG HAUL--GO FOR IT....
AFTER YOU COMPLETELY CHECK THIS COMPANY AND ITS TRACK RECORD OUT...
HIGH TURN OVER? ECT...
