You need a cost benefit analysis. Come up with what you are worth, on an hourly basis. Put a cost value by commuting cost's. Those vacation days have a value. So add it up-it doesn't have to be exact-you just want to see if the scales are heavily tipped in one direction or the other. Another point, of course, is job satisfaction. Do you need a new challenge. If you are excited about a new job, maybe the vacation days will not mean as much. I certainly wouldn't change to something you didn't think would be fun.

When do you make a job move? How can you calculate advantages of a higher salary, but you have to commute? Higher salary...but you lose your years of service that means more vacation days. Your salary is "capped" at your current job, but how can you determine if it could happen at your new job? So many variables! I have a question! When do you make a job move?
