critical job decision

[rudeguy]

lont story short, my old job has became available. When I was doing the job before, I made about $20k more than I do now. The thing is, I dont know if the market has changed, or whether it was the job that changed. But the guy that has been doing my old job is making less than I am now. So I risk a paycut, but maybe I can make things good again. I am lost. Should I try for my old job again?


UPDATE: Well I put in for the promotion and got my old job back. Everything is official as of today. Thanks for all your advice and support.

Take a week off from your current job, and do your old job for a week just to see how it is 😉

not possible. Both are at the same place.

OK...here is the long story. I used to be the car audio manager at the place I work at. I took a promotion that went south and quit. I started back as a salesman selling tv's and appliances. Now the car audio manager job is open again. I could make what I was before...or maybe the market isnt there anymore. I am very up in the air about this. The guy that has been car audio manager hasnt been making any money, but I am a better salesman than he is. I need to decide this within a week or so.

why did it go south? Were car audio sales not enough to satisfy the store manager?

the promotion I took was to store manager at a smaller store. I made the company a ton of money, but I took about a 50% paycut. They NEVER complained about my sales. My department was always one of the best in the chain.

If you're sure you're a better salesman, take it.
