Which Situation Sounds Better

Just curious what others think. Neither are bad. Current job: - Years of established relationships - Pretty comfortable, given a lot of trust - Have to travel 6mo+ out of the year - Job requires relocating, can’t do it, so need to find a new job in my current location - Very high performer, could likely get any open role for my level i am interested in, but there’s been no interesting open roles (from my POV) in my location for many months. Staying has lots of uncertainty. - Years away from being able to manage a team, not eligible for at least 18mo-2yr - Can either take new opportunity, wait for new external opportunities, wait for new internal internal opportunities in current location, or take an available internal opportunity that is less than thrilling New opportunity: - Immediately resolves my location issue, provides a working team in my current location; good manager - Topical area of new role/opportunity not nearly as interesting / “sexy” as current job but don’t think anything will top it. Its ending anyway. Should do very well in this opportunity just it’s something that might keep my interest only 18-24mo. - Higher level opportunity, immediately eligible to manager a team but won’t have one in this role - At a great company, just a much smaller product portfolio than current one so narrower set of future opportunities. Smaller could mean more career growth opportunities down the road - Double digit increase in pay

Option II sounds pretty far and away more appealing to me.

Option 2, if you are comfortable with the company and see future of that company.
