Should I Stay With My Job Or Go With This New Job?

Hello Nairalanders! Please I’m in serious need of your candid advice. Let me go straight to the point.

I’ve been going through a delimma for some days now. I’m presently working with a microfinance bank and i earn about 40k after tax. Recently, I was offered a job in government house with a salary slightly above my present salary.

In my present place of work, there is job security and I learn a lot on the job although the salary ain’t much. In the new job, there is free accommodation but no job security because I’m being employed by the SA (special assistant) to the governor and i won’t be getting any official appointment letter.

The problem now is, I’m stuck between the two. I don’t know if I’m to go with the new offer or continue with my present job. I don’t want to take a decision that I might regret tomorrow. My fear is that I might be sacked at any time because I’m not employed directly by the government but the SA.

I’ve been thinking about it and i still don’t know the best decision to take. So, I decided to seek advice from nairaland cause I know I can get good advice here.

Please I will appreciate your sincere advice and contributions.
