I've been at a place over 4 years, oil and gas related, but not in the exact field of my previous experience and education. This is a huge company, and they're experiencing major pandemic/oil price problems, but my specific group is doing very well at this time. I have a lot less seniority than some there, and although I think I am well-liked, it seems like there is chance for promotion/job change only after years more time at my current level. But it is a very good job that has allowed me to be home for the pandemic so far and stay employed.

I've now been offered a job at a new place for a significant raise, of course it comes with more responsibility, and a lot of high risk-reward potential. Small company, only been around a short time, and all that stuff.

What would you do? Why?

My take.. don't jump. I chased money before and got burned. If you have a good thing going right now, keep at it.
