New job decision

i am an accountant and work full time in a company and there is supposed to have an interview in a new job so should i continue in my old company or move to the new company if i get accepted?
my thoughts is new job have a high risk of being fired but came with new experience and higher salary.
the old job have more stability and unlikely to be fired but came with no new experience and low salary.
i am really confused and cant make a decision.

It’s completely your choice @MIDO but if it was me and I was comfortable where I was … I wouldn’t risk it

Does the higher pay outweigh the negative things you’re worried about?

Increased salary will likely solve some things

I know when I paper chased for a while I saved a lot of money

Maybe you should accept the administrative position until you gain an education in accounting. Once you do that, you’ll be better positioned to take the job you want, wherever it is.

I wish I had become an accountant. I think it would have been easier and I would have made a lot more money.
