I need some serious career advice. Ok so I got an offer from a competitor for an outside account executive. I made 70k last year on pace for about 80k this year my base is shit $32, 500. They offered me $50, 000 base with a pretty decent commission structure. Now the thing is I have to get a car if I take this job I don’t really wan t one I live in the city it is more of a pain in the ass then anything. Where I am I am top 20 of 200 where I am going I got to start all over. It is a big risk in the current economic environment I could win big or I could lose big.
 
you're young, single, and don't have any kids. . .no risk, no reward. . .also, i don't know about you but, every place that i ever worked would have me back again tomorrow. . .
 
Stay where you are until recovery actually begins. Think about how long you'd have to be there before what you make there plus car costs and hassle exceeds what you make now?
 
with the economy the way it is, if you are sure (as sure as one can be anyways) that you have a secure job, I'd stay put. The grass is always greener approach can bite you in the butt. Plus, from what you said, now you need no car, no gas, no insurance, no car payment, no registration/title fees, no need to pay for parking, none of that hassle.

In a nutshell, I'd play it safe this time around. When our economy looks better, I'm sure there will be just as good if not better opportunities especially if you are in the top 20 of a large company. Sounds like you are worth holding on to.

Yeah it is 3 1/2 years I have never been at any job that long. I was once very in love with my job. I need to find away to get that back.

Yes true if I keep selling then yeah I got very secure job. The other thing is I signed a non-compete which means I can not just take my book of busness. I will get my ass in a serious lawsuit if I violate that for a period of 6 months.
