HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION #45:

Suppose your boss came up to you at work one day & said that there is a position open with a higher salary, but more scrutiny and the position itself is not viewed favorably by upper management – and might possibly be dissolved in a few yea.

However, your boss also mentions tgat another position *might* be opening up later down the road.

That job, while probably not as prestigious, sounds more like a career path that you might be interested in pursuing. 

What would you do? 

• Apply for the confirmed position with higher pay?  
• Or stay at your current job & wait for the other position to possibly open up?  

You cannot apply for both.

This is what I had to think over the past couple of days.
