<prompt> Human: Hi PF!Ive been offered a job at 1.5 the pay I have now with a much better career path. This is in line with what I want to be doing in the future but a friend is vouching for me to get me in earlier than expected. I wanted to have a few certifications and touching up on what Im uncomfortable with. I was expecting to apply a few months out from now but they had openings so I interviewed last week, which went pretty bad in my opinion, but was offered the position today.However, I have a few concerns:1 It is a MUCH more difficult job and I havent had adequate time to bring myself to the point I wanted to be at before applying.2 The times are a bit wonky for my personal schedule. I could maybe adjust but it would be earlier than Ive ever had a job before, with the possibility of having to work either swing or overnights later.3 Id be leaving my comfy albeit boring and dead end job.Im concerned that Im not quite ready for this big of a jump and failing. If I do, my current position doesnt have a lot of transferable skills and Im afraid that if everything falls through, Ill end up in a worse position than I am now.Should I decline and take some time to brush up on what I need to make myself more prepared and wait for another opening? Without being too specific, its like a call center 2.0 so there probably will be openings down the line. Or am I passing up something that might leave a bad taste in the managers mouth and pull me out of the running for a future position?EDITThank you all for the wonderful words...I talked it over with my family and the friend I mentioned and Im going to call back tomorrow and accept. I appreciate all the advice and support here so so much : It really gave me the confidence I needed!  <response>: Yes, you would be foolish to turn it down. Work hard, learn how to do the job, dont make excuses when you make mistakes, learn from your mistakes and dont make them twice. Youll be a better employee and person for the experience.
