What would you do

I recently received a job offer but I am having a hard time deciding whether or not to take it.

My current job is in my hometown. The salary is high. I live with family which means I save on rent and can focus on paying off college loans and saving for my own place. However, job benefits suck and my company has such high standards, you get in trouble for the most minute offenses. Many have left because of this

The job offer is far from home. I lived there for over a year. I found it lonely as I had no friends or family and hated the town I lived in. The pay will be low and I'll have to rent. Rent in a decent neighborhood is extremely high. However, it comes with exceptional benefits that cannot be beat and job security (meaning you wont get in trouble for dumb things).

If faced with the same decision, which would you take?

    Go for the low paying, rent paying lonely job

    Keep the job you have and look for another one that better meets all your needs. What's the point of a job you enjoy if you don't make enough money to enjoy your life?

    I know you're being sarcastic but good benefits is something to seriously consider when looking for a job.

    They are, but how much will you really be benefitting from those benefits? If you're referring to the health insurance, do you have high medical expenses? Chronic health problems? Or are you relatively young and healthy and only go to the doctor for annual check ups? You've got to weigh the cost of a high deductible plan/premiums against the pay cut you'd be taking.
