Choice 1: stay where I’m at. 105k as a systems administrator. I enjoy the work but hate most people here. But I love the work itself. Potential for 10% bonus so maxes at 115.5k/yr

Choice 2: I can go back to my old job. They’ll title me as an “IT Site Lead” although the job description says I’ll be managing system admins, network engineers, and helpdesk - so I’ll likely make my title on LinkedIn “IT Manager”. Love the people. The work is mediocre, no complaints - but the culture is amazing. I could show up an hour late every day and nobody would care as long as I get my work done on time. This one pays 100k with a potential for a 15k bonus. So $500 difference between the old and new. But I also get to purchase up to 25,000 of stock at a 15% discount each year, and if I sell it immediately after purchasing at the discounted rate that’s another 4.5k ish in profit, so this one really has the potential for me to make 119.5k/yr.

Context on why I’m looking to leave: I work for a franchise based company and we’re in the middle of changing our business model, we’re supposed to lose half of our franchises within the next two months and lose 75% of our revenue. Although im the only system admin I’m still worried I might get fired so they can find a cheaper one.

Edit: if I go back to my old job the description is the exact same as the previous manager I had they’re just titling it as lead. He got promoted to Sr Manager within a year and a half, so there might be room for growth there. When he got promoted to sr manager he started receiving stock as a bonus yearly. I also get 2 weeks guaranteed PTO and unlimited manager approved PTO up to 2 months if I go back
