job exchange tips

Good evening to all,
I am a mechanical engineer with 6 years of experience at the same company, and became responsible for technical office in a company that deals with industrial machinery and boasts about 100 employees.
in a very fast way I went from project engineer to project manager up to responsible and so this makes me very happy, only that the company is now in financial crisis, we are short of staff (they are fired in many in the last year) and now it is hard to work because the climate is quite demotivated.
In the meantime I got a proposal as a project manager from a much larger company, with slightly better economic conditions but 45 km from home, now I have 20.

What would you recommend? I would lose the share of direct responsibility on people, and I would give up the technical part, but it seems to me to stay in a place where I always found myself well, but that seems to have become a bet and without certainty.

Take paper and pen and make a list of pros and cons of both possibilities, then give a priority score or value to the various voices, pull the sums and do a critical analysis of the result.

Thank you very much for the answer!
the problem is that the company where I am now seems to me really a rebus, moreover it adds a very high disorganization, also due to the fact that we are few, so I really am in trouble and I do not know well what to do.

I don't know what to do.

make a list of pros and cons. you already have 2 against, in my opinion, (rebus and disorganization). You need this list. Moreover, above all, to do an analysis and to weigh critically the situation. the list is not an end, but a means

In essence I think that the current company can give me a more important future than the new one, the only rebus remains stability.
more than anything else the economic offer of the new company would be 0.9% greater + 10% on the ral in mbo, with objectives all to define, so also this does not stimulate me much.

personally, with the assumptions you detected, I would change company; in the future if the new job is not satisfactory for you and if the old company gets back together, you may have the opportunity to return with a greater experience.

all true, it is right to make a complete evaluation.
I'll make you think about two more points:
1- Staying in a company at a time of difficulty has a huge value for the company, especially if medium-sized, you may be rewarded for this by the company itself but even if the crisis passed you decided to put yourself in play by future employers, you would add positive character skills to your profile.
2-Temporary disorganization can be an opportunity to space in less restricted areas than current ones.
In the case of negative developments, despite your efforts, would you have a lot of difficulty finding another job?

It is clear that my thought is "never give up especially in difficulties"

Let's say that my fear is to find me in cash integration and would become more difficult to go to negotiate a salary/position as I would like. the problem is that they are firing in many and we are getting less and less, assumptions are not there, even if they have promises to me. But at the moment the situation is sad, even if I like the work very much. in case I change I should change sector, because the type of work I do now I find it 200 km away
