I have the opportunity to pick between these 2 choices right now, and I would like to hear some opinions.

$100K job will likely be M-F from 5am-2 or 3pm, with working one saturday a month for 6 hours. Good career advancement opportunities. Don't get paid overtime for any overtime hours I work.
$50K job will be T-F for 10 hrs per day 7am-6pm, 3 day weekends every week. Get paid overtime if I have to work overtime.


I worked in the stressful job before, so I'm heavily leaning towards the more chill job, but this time I'm being offered a big salary that I can't simply just say no to. That's why I have to reconsider and weigh my options.

Thanks

Honestly, it would depend on my age - younger years - i'd be going for the 100k. Saving for all the toys I wanted e.g. nice house, car etc.. and looking a those hours - they looks easy as heck. So why is it stressful?

Nowadays, I have that stuff/toys I want so my goal is work/life balance. Whats going to suit you best?

Chilled one.
I have a short fuse and can turn into a serious jerk if stressed enough

50k is already too much work, work less, spend time typing ^xistz in random forums

Try one
If you don’t like it go for the other one

But keep in mind they might fill the slot before you know if you like one or not

Current me would take the lower stress job. Younger me may have taken the higher paying one.
