Hi everyone, recently I am kinda in bottleneck and dilemma situation in my career where to stay in my curreent job or jump to next job.

Current job:
Been working here for 8 years since 2015. So far package and benefit wise are good, flexi working hour, allow to work remotely 4 days out of 5 days per week, management does not micromanage, colleague are ok. Although I am familiar with what i have to do in my job, work laod is not heavy (can snake occassionaly), but i have lost my interest and motivation to do the work, meaningless most of the time. The job scope is not what I like and it stressed me up alot because sometimes time I have to handdle sudden issues happen and need to squeeze my brain juice and try to solve it which sometime really out of my control. Plus recently my only senior team member is leaving this end Oct, all his work will be passed to me, and his works are alot of mess which I am very unwillingly to take over his job. Company is hiring new guy to sopport me but it will happen only next Jan. In addition, I asked myself even I stay and get promoted and increment, which will be happend once after my senior left (increment 13.7%), I has no plan to work long term in this company as well.

New job offer:
A totally different industry of my current job. An industry which I am relatively interested in. Salary is same to my current job before the increment, considering I have zero knowledge in this new industry, I think this is acceptable. Benefit is slightly lesser than current job. no more working remotely, and will required to work longer hours and outstation compared to current job. Expecting this new job is going to be quite challenging to me as well since this is a new industry to me, I have to pick up and learn very quick. As what I searched online, the working atmosphere and colleague in this new company is good and motivating. in addition, this industry is foreseen to be a blooming industry in near future.

Currently I am tending to new job. But some ppl around me would say Im too naive and wasted not choosing to stay for increment, promotion and flexi working but go for new industry which has so much uncertainties. I have no idea if I could cope for new job but I am quite mentally suffering staying in current job, just think to escape now. I told myself if i go for new job, it would be stressful as well, and I need to mentally suffering for certain of period with all the new things, but at least it is something im more interested in and hopefully could keep my passion of it for long term, and looking forward this industry could reallt bring me prospect in future.

Not considering commitment, family or any other factors.
IF you were me, how will u choose and why? Thank you.
