<prompt> Human: Hello Reddit,I currently work for an un-named software company as a help desk specialistInternal IT. I have been here for almost a year and I like the work environment, I have learned ALOT and the opportunity for advancement seems like it is there. Recently I have been offered a position from a much larger company as a networking triage engineer.not 100 sure what I would be doing in that role but the people who interviewed me believe I am a good fit and can learn what I need to learn to do the job. So my question to you redditors is: Should I leave a place I am familiar with that I could reasonably assume I will advance in over time for a new position that pays almost double what I make now? I think I would learn alot in this new place and be able to build my resume up even more.. However the risk is pretty high because I have rent,car payments, etc...Thanks for reading!  <response>: It seems to me your question is whether you should stick with something familiar vs. grow. The answer is almost always to grow.Youre not really taking on a lot of risk because you have bills. Everyone has bills. Youre going to make more money to pay them. A lot more money to pay them. If youre smart with your money, if it doesnt work out, youll still land on your feet.
