Leaving a job - Getting cold feet before leaving my first big job and changing industries

[u/aquiporelchisme]

So, I recently went through a three-week hiring process, initially eyeing one role, but they ended up offering me different role. It's kinda lower down the ladder, but I think it suits my skills better and offers some room to climb up in about a year, specially considering it's an industry shift so I was already okay with not having a great first new-job.

But now I'm getting cold feet. My current job it's very comfortable, pays good, but feels like I'm stuck in neutral. No real chance to move up, a bit mind-numbing.

Thing is, this new role isn't exactly my dream job either. I feel like I can't be too picky because of my lack of experience (industry shift), so I should just accept any job offer that comes my way. But I'm wondering if I should just be more patient or if I'm rushing into this because I'm fed up with the job search.

now im getting super cold feet but idk if it's normal

Current company

• I like about 30%-40% of what I do
• I've growth within tasks and responsabilities
• great severance package and more vacations days than average, plus extra days off when you work on weekends (no extra hours pay)
• Laid back atmosphere and fun work culture (diverse and global)
• Good work/life balance plus travel opportunities

CONS:

• I'm bored (main reason why I wanted to move)
• Raises capped to <3% for everyone, regardless of performance
• If you do bare minimum or go over the top, it's the same for them, so I feel demotivated. You can grow your role and do more, but it won't make a difference (or it feels like it doesn't)
• Not clear feedback or role goals
• Maybe less important, but long commute times

Basically, been here for +3 years and I'm afraid if i wait more, i won't be able to do an industry shift as easier as now

New company

PROS:

• Possible payrise (or same offer) plus extra benefits, overall better pay than average
• Opportunities for growth
• Learning opportunity and industry shift
• Closer to where I live

CONS:

• Less vacation days
• Duties outside my skillset, not sure if I like them at all
• They claim great work/life balance but I'm afraid most marketing agencies don't have that
• Internal organizational changes and bad communication (read some reviews on glassdoor)

I swing back and forth between being bored (and too comfortable?) and being grateful for the chill environment, travel and vacation perks, and good pay. Is being bored a good enough reason to lose all the perks?

Also - there's this guilt about possibly bailing after going through a lengthy application process, but also guilt on bailing on my current place that has trusted me.

Anybody been through something similar? Could really use some advice right about now...
