Again sorry to be needy, and maybe this is just more a seeing it on paper that actual advice. I also don't want to upset anyone looking for jobs still...
I went for an interview on Tuesday within the NHS that I didn't think I was going to get (test went badly in my head). I found out the salary was lower than I am on now by 1K and the travelling would be about £200 a month. I found out today that I didn't get the job I applied for BUT that they have another vacancy not advertised that they want to offer for me. If I am honest on alot of levels this is a more suited role for me, I still have some reservations about it (I won't bore you!) and have asked for the weekend to think about it. The money is still the same money as the other role and there is no budging on the starting salary.
I have had another interview this week, I think it went well and is a little bit more money than I am on now and £40 of travel a month. However I am not going to know anything about this for up to a week.
My big consideration is the situation that has had me have my contract terminated could happen to my H. Netheir of us were perm employees within the company I work for but both of us have worked here for a long time (H is 11 years, I was 8). At the moment contracts are being terminated right left and centre but H is safe for the moment however long this may be. He has alot of debt which is why he cannot contribute more to our joint expenses more than he does so money is a concern. We don't live beyond our means now to be honest we spend all we can to clear any debts.
I am torn...I know taking a job in the NHS would be good for alot of reasons. I know that pay increases are much more likely and by this time next year I could be on more than now. My concern is managing for the next 12 months if something was to happen. I am due to have some feedback today to see how they felt the other interview went which I must admit was a role that I did really gel with. However I know any money is better than no money.
I guess this is a WWYD? Thanks for any advice/.anyone been in this position. I know I am extremely fortunate. Everyone around me is telling me to accept the NHS job and if the other one comes back to tell the NHS I no longer want it but that smacks of being unprofessional to me!
