<prompt> Human: I figured this would be the best subreddit to get people with life experience in this matter so Ill just get to it. Im a recent college graduate with a STEM degree and Ive been working in a position unrelated to my field e.g manual labor for a year while I was finishing my degree. The job does not pay well, in fact its terrible, the work is hard, but the people I get along with very much. I have good rapport with the managers and have friends who work at this company. The manager recently pulled me into the office and said he wanted me to work in a new position that no one at the company has done before. It relates to my degree somewhat. I consider myself a data analyst and he wants me to do pricing for what the company sells. However I would be the only person on my team basically and would need to learn everything from scratch. Im adept to learning new things, but being in charge of pricing products could potentially lead to losses for the company if I royally fuck up, considering I have almost no experience with this. Ive conducted research projects and done in depth analyses but nothing like this. He also did not mention how much he would pay me for this position and that if I took the pricing position I would need to first do a sales position to learn more about the product and the needs of the customer and the entire sales process. He also mentioned that I didnt have to do pricing, but that he would encourage me to do considering none of the other branches currently do it and we are one of the largest, most profitable branch. Coincidentally on this same day I got a call from a company I applied to, I wont say the name but they are a very well known technology company that is a few miles from my house. Im about 75 sure I will get the job. It is also a data type job, but not exactly what Im looking to do, but the person I spoke with mentioned a lot of room for growth in the company. They offered me 55k starting with potential signing bonus. It would be a 3 month contract then full time hire if they like me. Im not sure what the conversion rate is for most of these companies but I would assume if you make it 3 months you have good chances. Whereas my current employer would most likely pay 15hr to do sales and then most likely much more when I do pricing as per my demands, but he didnt give an exact number which worries me.In my gut I feel like I should take the 55k job considering its a lot more money, even though Im taking a risk on whether Ill fit the culture of the new workplace and might not get hired after 3 months. I would also have supervisors who can guide me, instead of lone wolfing it in the pricing department.What would rpersonalfinance do?  <response>: Take the 55k. Obvious.
