I’m in a bit of a predicament because I’m due to go back to my previous job and they have given me the hours I need however I’m not really happy in the role the team don’t make me feel welcome etc but will obv have a good work life balance. There’s some other opportunities come up but the hours are more but I feel I would prefer the role? So stuck with choosing being happy at work and more hours to be being miserable and the hours being ideal 🤦🏻♀️

So just me personally... I'd go with the job that makes you happy. Don't get stuck somewhere where you're miserable. Work-life balance is kinda cancelled out by a job you hate and dread going to. And you never know, you might be able to be flexible with the hours later down the line, or it might open roads to other similar jobs that offer more balance, could be a stepping stone, kinda thing?

Go for a job you love, you may even be able to gain more of a work life balance once your in for a while.
Very true, thank you
