Manifested a new Job- not sure if I Should take it.
Post Body

So I've been stuck in a career rut for a while at my current work. I keep getting more work (my workload has doubled) and I have been overlooked for career paths/new roles in the company (I've been turned down by a mentor program five times and turned down for new positions). I've been dealing with some bullying issues where a report to HR was useless and now it's gotten worse. There are days where I just feel totally dead there.

I've been applying for new positions, and there was one where my gut said "okay" when I applied for it. I went through the application process without overthinking anything and just did the steps as they happen.

I was interviewed and offered a position. I felt good about it and could see myself doing the role. I was set up for a video conference interview and my computer died. Then I wound up getting a new smartphone, and a surprise smartphone stand in the mail, which I used for the video interview- both arriving the week before right on time.

Then I talked to family about it and my hyper-critical mother totally put it down. My vibrations/mood fell through the floor. The rest of the day was just awful with things going wrong.

The new job would involve a move out of state. I went on a last-minute trip to go visit the state and the area. The job would be remote- work from home- but going to an office once every two weeks. I went by the "office" and felt nothing. I didn't see it as a place I would be like I have seen elsewhere with other jobs.

I don't know what to do. The pluses are this is more money; I would work from home most of the time; I would be the leader/manager; I would be doing the things I really enjoy; and it's a new fresh start. The negatives are moving; lots of driving in between meetings; being on the state health insurance plans versus a private plan; loss of 401K; and the setback from five weeks of vacation down to two. (Granted I do have great vacation time now, but I find that I have to come in extra around the vacation days to catch up on my work). On the other hand I've been having more issues with my landlord, bills here, and equipment breaking down in the home I am in now, and have been looking at moving, but not leaving the state.

I can't tell if this is "preparing me for something bigger" or "take the chance." I don't feel like I can trust my emotional guidance system right now because fear has thrown it off.

TLDR: Was excited about a job posting, applied, got hired, but now can't tell if this is the right job to take.
