First of all, congratulations, Joe. This good news is another anecdotal
indication that the market may be coming around finally...
You don't say if you're married, have dependents, are in good health, have a
mortgage, are solvent and not behind on bills, usually work out of your home
office, are incorporated, and so on. All of these things may push or pull
your decision in one or the other direction.
In short, I think you quickly need to discuss this matter locally with a
qualified financial planner. That person will be able to sort out your
personal/private info and give you suggestions and motivations for going in
either direction.
On the professional/occupational side, which job would you prefer? That is,
which job challenges you or which gig could you do better, faster, and with
less stress? Those are three different questions.
You needn't answer any of my rhetorical questions on or off list, Joe. They
are just food for thought.
