So I have a conundrum.
I am not overtly happy in my job. I'm not at the point of quitting like I was late last year but I've had a rough time since I started it and have had to really fight for myself all the time. I've had issues with my manager not supporting me, some issues with social media and how I approached my work (all resolved now and largely due to previously mentioned lack of support) and some issues with staff shortages/supply chain shortages/basically all the wheels falling off at every point. I work in a hospital for context.
I've been passively looking for a new job since I got back from holiday in the spring and found one that I am really excited about. It's a new industry, full 2 year on the job training, well supported, basically what I do now but without the bullshit and a lot of the same perks (and then some more on top). It's a higher wage, better hours, no weekends, better holiday, options to work from home, well known company that treats its staff well. I'm in the interview process for this at the moment and am fairly confident if I get a second interview I'd be accepted.
I've also found a job that's being advertised by a different hospital which is much better than the one I'm at now, has a bigger department, I wouldn't be the only person in the team doing the job and I know that the recruiting manager is very supportive and favours training staff over replacing them (opposite way round at my current place). However the hours are much worse (weekends still, they do long days rather than 9 - 5) AND - the biggest problem - we'd have to relocate to a very expensive part of the world. A part of the world we've always wanted to move to, but one that commands house prices not far off of London, and is notorious for being awful to drive around. I love our house and we wouldn't get anything close to what we have now in a commutable area of that hospital.
I haven't applied for the second job yet but am quite confident I'd get an interview for it when I did apply. My issue is I feel like I'm at a total 3 way cross roads. Either I stay here and see if this uptick is going to carry on, which would give me the opportunity to grow in this role and enact some really good change for our patients, I jump ship to the new industry or do I relocate and hope that this new hospital is as rosy as it sounds?
). I have a presentation to do but not a clue where to start with it 
. Does anyone have advice on how to make cases to put forward to leaders to invest in a service? Or how to share ideas what works well/what doesn’t across sites? ARGH!!! I really want this
and sleeping with the young girls at the work parties!
