Welcome to "That Sweet Salary" podcast, hosted by Ben Harris & Emily Green. Today, we’re tackling a classic dilemma for anyone in a job they’ve worked hard to earn: What do you do when a new offer promises less responsibility, higher pay, and an easier workday? Our guest is a supervisor currently earning $24.50 an hour, recently offered a job with a gas company that pays $35/hour after per diem. It sounds perfect—fewer duties, relaxed work—but walking away from a job where he’s thriving and well-respected isn’t easy.

Ben and Emily break down the pros and cons of choosing easy money over career growth and long-term stability. They dive into questions of values, lifestyle, and what makes a job meaningful. Whether you’re weighing a new opportunity or deciding to stay and grow in your current role, this episode will help you gain clarity on what matters most. Tune in for tips on navigating job offers, evaluating lifestyle choices, and making big decisions with confidence.
