Yes I'm earning more now. 300 more but I wonder does it justify the longer hours now.
Cause sometimes when I am being yelled at by customer and have to work thru the night...
I wonder is the pay worth it?
I then made a humiliating step...
I went back to STE and I realised how slack STE is.
Maybe that's why they justify the much much lower pay.
I also realised that lower pay means lower stress also

This ultimately depends on what you want. DO you want to keep improving and develop yourself?
When a job is too slack for me, I will feel bored and wasting my life. Thus, I have to make a decision whether to have a not so slack job while learning at the same time or to have a slack job and be stagnant forever.
I won't think $300 extra doesn't justify the extra work. I would think that this extra actually lets me do things that are new to my ex job and this is the value added.
Yes meeting difficult customers sucks, but to think it from another perspective, it actually teaches you how to deal with different people. It builds up your skills and that is a soft skills not obtainable easily.
