How many more years do you plan to work before retirement?
If the job clearly has broader range of responsibilities that require higher level of skills, then abit more money might be useful to inquire...only IF you plan to be there for several years. Instead of a few months. Otherwise you might be shooting yourself in the foot abit.
If you deliver what is required on the job within work time, then your new boss knows you maybe motivated to work well so that you don't put yourself in an overtime situation..because you prefer not to do it.
Even managers who clearly cannot offer overtime pay to their employees and generally don't expect the employee to work overtime, it is helpful in the odd occasion for rush service/work. Such as occurring once a month or less.
As for a job with extra stress, I don't know how to respond to this ... except if it's just occasional stress rather than constant. ..isn't that ok?
I can't imagine a job with no stress... I've never had a job like that.. The higher you are on the organizational chain OR the greater range of task responsibilities that you have to perform which have serious reprecussions/risk to your organization if you weren't around or if you did something incorrectly, then there will be some stress embedded in the job.
I recall as a new university graduate in my lst professional job but in an assistant capacity to a highly experienced professional who was my manager, I saw her cry briefly once.
She cried openly in front of me...it was stress of dealing some political issues with senior management, the board and her department budget. I realized if I wanted professional jobs that intellectually challenged me, put my department in the limelight, greater responsibilities, then I must be prepared for the stress also.
Looking back, I'm so glad she had the humility to break down just a little in front of green graduate and confide to me. It was something I never forgot. It was a teaching moment from her (a much older boomer woman by the way, she is close to 68). I'm 48.
If you take the job Louisa, just love your non-work destressors for your own peace of mind. I love my cycling homeward after work for this.
