Is this Job offer even worth my time?
New job is an all cash offer at $100k as a contractor to hire role. New company is a growing international brand with 1000+ employees and would very likely offer growth opportunities down the road.
•Current Job: Great benefits, temporarily low pay.
•Offered Job: In office IT for a 100 person office with 40% WFH as a contract to hire job. (Zero benefits)
I calculate my current benefits at $15k/y. Current gross salary is $67k. Promotion is on the horizon will make salary $72k/y.
More details:
Spent 10 years in retail tech support before leaving to do in house IT for a software company. Been in that role for 7 years, 5 of which was building out the company ITSM. I enjoyed the creative work and nonlinear variety that position demanded. Over the past few years the software company downsized about 60%, last Christmas I was laid off. I returned to the fruit stand to keep health insurance and a small salary right before the layoff.
I want back into the IT space, I miss the creativity.
Is leaving the temporary good thing I have a financially poor decision?
Is there an online tool that I can use to input the values of my current benefits against the proposed potential salary to see if this is even worth my time in considering this?
Thanks!
