Torn

I have another opportunity to promote with my job.
And no, Erica... it isn't a BUT position.

In June of this year, Marriott started a new point based system allowing owners to travel to other Marriott Resorts that they don't own through us instead of an exchange company. Because of the new change, we now have Senior Advisors who deal with the enrolled owners. This is the position that I'm thinking about applying for. I mean, this is the direction the company is going. Might as well get on board now, right?

One big draw back.. scheduling! Because it is a new position/new program, it's 40 hours a week including weekends. They aren't offering any part time, job shares or 4 10 hour shifts. So, it's not as flexible as my position now. Especially because I will have to work weekends in order to get a day off during the week to watch the girls. They've mentioned that they may offer more flexible hours and job shares in the future, but I should apply now because they may not be hiring at that time. I guess it will be nice only working 8 hours instead of 9... Call me crazy, but I seem to miss out on so much just because of that extra hour.

I'm just so torn between applying or not. Right now, my team is very flexible and I'm allowed to only work 36 hours a week with a guaranteed day off during the week and also weekends off. Do I give that up? Do I sacrafice my weekends to earn more money? But I don't even know if I'll be making more money! Yes, it is a raise when I get it, but I no longer have the opportunity for unassigned bonuses quarterly.

I HATE THIS!!

But I better make a decision fast. Position closes end of business Monday. Might have to work on a resume and cover letter this weekend, just in case.
