Hello all!

I’m in desperate need of help!

So, background information: I’m Mikaela, 24 yo, married for 4.5 year & mum

To the most beautiful 1.5 yo baby girl.

I’ve been in my current job for almost 3 years. Started as full time and in April when I came back from maternity leave I went down to 75% time. Reduced salary & same responsibility but I was happy because I got to be more time with my baby. It was sth that I wanted as much as a necessity because our families lives in different countries so I need to pick her up from day care etc.

The dilemma: a month ago they offer me being in charge of a new project. Including traveling aboard for 3 days. I didn’t have enough time to think about it so I just jumped into it (as scary as it was to leave my baby for 3 days for the first time)

When I was there I discovered that the project included more responsibility, hours & traveling aboard for two weeks in April.

So when we came back I asked for a raised, expecting for them to either accept it totally, partially or reject it. Instead they accept it only if I accepted going back to full time.

I FREAKED OUT AND STARTED CRYING IN FRON LT OF MY BOSS

I don’t know what happened to me, I’m usually a really really calm person and think every time before reacting, but that’s not the point. (Maybe sleep deprivation and AF coming a few days ago has sth to do with it)

Pros of taking the project: big plus for my career, management experience for some months & higher salary

Contras: more working hours

Extra info: I’m a bit tired of my job so a change is good. I like the company I work for and my boss.

What should I do?
