info on my current job:
- been working here for only 1 year
- basic $4xxx
- bonus 4.5 mths (it obvsly varies according to performance and state of economy)
- increment: govt-type increments...nothing to shout about(could you provide more info on the increment, how many % or how much is the amount on average? I have seen people getting +$300to+$600 for annual increment in civil service, I think it is high comparing to my GLC job +$100to+$150)
- working hours: 48 hrs/wk (rarely exceeds this number)
- stress levels: low

info on prospective job:
- basic $6xxx (~2k more than current job)
- bonus: ~ 2 mths (not expected to vary much)
- working hours: est. 53 hrs/wk (this is a conservative estimate...can be easily more....very unpredictable)
- increments: ~15%(these days got so high annual increment one??)
- stress levels: moderate to high


any thoughts??
your current job = 16.5 x assume 4000 = 66000 annual
annual work hour = 48 x 52 = 2496hrs
salary/hr = 66000/2496 = $26.44/hr
got work life balance + low stress

new job = 14 x assume 6000 = 84000 annual
annual work hour = 53 x 52 = 2756hrs(could be more!!!)
salary/hr = 84000/2756 = $30.47/hr
should be no work life balance + moderate to high stress

I will choose the government job because it offer low stress + seldom OT(got work-life balance) and job stability...for $26.44/hr

I will not choose the high chance no work life balance job + from what I can see is it will be stressful for just an additional $4/hr
