You are in a somewhat senior position in middle management earning a decent but so so pay....you are increasingly jaded by all the politics and change in demands of top management....you are in charge of your department but yet often do not have full control over pertinent decision making issues as organization is big and changes need approval from higher management and various departments....would you take a 20% pay cut and apply for a internal job transfer bearing in mind that you may not succeed in the new position? However if you do well in the new position you may eventually earn more. Current job has its perks just as being free to surf mcf on normal workdays but also has risks of being taken over by newer blood that comes with more vigour and at lower costs.
Please kindly advise seriously. Thank you.
