Alright friends... Friday I was given a job offer!! Yay!! I've been at this place for over a year as a contract worker. I knew it was coming, it's taken 6 months to get their new hiring process in place. I recently got a raise with my broker I'm contracted through. This offer is ok and I'm thankful to receive one. I'm just having a hard time, wondering if it's worth it. The pay is 15k less than my annual income. Money isn't everything. Now I know benefits play a huge factor and so does taxes. With this pay, I will have to move to a smaller apartment and try to sell the house our sister lives in that we've been renting to ASAP. Things will change. Yes I get medical, a great 401k and paid time off, but I now pay for my own medical, have a good 401k set up and I'm ok not getting paid for time off. I determine my own schedule and don't pay nearly as much in taxes as I would as an employee. I would like to counter, but I'm so conflicted. This may seem shallow but the title I will receive is nothing near what I've worked the last 9 years for on my own. I'm ok walking away from this job, there is another company that will take me as contracts. For anyone that has any suggestions or comments, I would really like to hear them.... I've been thinking and praying all weekend. I have till next Monday to give my answer. I'm just not sure what to do...
