You never know, maybe your current employer would offer you a raise to stay?
I get a raise every year. But, I got a big raise a year and a half ago which means I probably won't get a big jump for a while.

This is hard. If I loved my job 10k would not make a difference. After taxes it is a lot less and that amount of money doesn't make up for less vacation (especially in your case where you get so much vacation). Vacation are priceless. I often wish I went into teaching just to have a good amount of vacation. We spend so much time working. 2-3 weeks more vacation is worth 5K more in my pocket but, again, we are all in different circumstances. Only you can decide because everyone's financal situation ands lifestyle is different. I can tell you that I would take a 25K paycut in a second if I could find a rewarding job that gave me more time out of the office. Too bad I am so complacent!
Everything you said is exactly what FH said. I think I am going to stick around for a while longer and see what happens. I am just getting bored. I want more responsibiliy. As weird as it sounds, I need it! It keeeps me going when work is exciting.

Re: Question
The grass isnt always greener on the other side! And i doubt they would understand you taking 3 weeks. And you dont know how secure that new job would be being that your job right now sounds very secure. I dont think i would take the chance the way this economy is right now. But overall its really up to what you think is best for yourself.
