Many of your career choices are XORs between two sets of pros/cons. It's very rare you get ANDs. You have to decide which set of pros outweighs its cons more, by your values. This means that you have to understand who you are and what you value. First, remember that a career is PRIMARILY about earning money, and NOT about personal satisfaction. Many people get little or no satisfaction from their jobs. If you get some, consider yourself lucky. But don't undervalue the compensation; stock can be life-changing in that financial independence removes monetary issues from future choices like this. Second, know who you are. If you like rising to the occasion, then I would suggest stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing the new opportunity, it might unlock all sorts of new financial success and maybe even become personally fulfilling if approached positively. But you have to decide if you can adopt that outlook and find enough satisfaction to remain a good performer. Good luck!
