Kimmy,

This is a very important question. In my experience, doing what you enjoy, but in a less than positive setting isn't all that great.

But, working for someone you enjoy and respect...add learning new things...and it sounds like a better deal.

Either way, the situation really does suck and I'm sorry about that. I hope you'll feel better about it soon. Like someone said before, things do tend to happen for a reason...usually good ones that we find out later.

It was really nice of your current boss to come to you and offer her recommendation. I'm sure she'd be saddened to lose you, but seems to have your best interests in mind. I would keep that close to your heart/mind when you make your decision.

Take care. We're here for you. Keep us updated, OK??
