How do you make big decisions at a young age with your career? Should I leave a good job? I’m 25yo, living in Portugal, and I’ve been working since i was 21 after doing my bachelors degree. I’ve always had a goal of having an international career and earlier this year I received an offer to join a company in Luxembourg. I declined. However recently they called me saying there’s a new opportunity and that they really liked me and would love to have me there. The thing is, I’m really afraid to go. I’ve been the last 4 years in the same company where I’ve grown a lot and where the partners really like me. I know i can grow there. However i still live in my parents house. Accepting the offer would allow me to have the international career, have my own independence, and I would earn more. But this is really scary, and the fact that’s scary is why I think should do it. This is a big decision in my life. This is the first time i feel like my life is in my control and that will impact my future. Everyone says that i should but it’s so scary to leave everything and go while i have a good job. I’m currently earning around 30k where i live, and there would earn around 55k. Financially it’s not a big jump. The biggest jump is the growth. Moving out of my comfort zone. submitted by /u/Quiet_Buyer9996
