J1 and J2 Dilemma

I’m currently facing a difficult decision and would really appreciate some guidance.

I am still employed in my current job (J1), but I’ve recently been hired by another company (J2) and will be starting there around mid-June.

Here’s my situation:

Job 1 (Current)

  • Work setup: Onsite, 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM (with flexible time)
  • Commute: About 10 km from home (around 30 minutes drive)
  • Benefits: Complete government benefits, free coffee and meals in the office, HMO provided for me, with the option to enroll dependents (employee pays for dependents)
  • Work environment: Very relaxed, non-toxic, and ideal for me
  • Flexibility: As long as tasks are completed, I have a lot of freedom
  • Leave: 15 PTOs per year
  • Role: Rank-and-file (currently acting as Team Lead)

Job 2 (New Offer)

  • Work setup: Work-from-home, 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM
  • Benefits: No benefits included
  • Work environment: Also very relaxed and manageable
  • Leave: 12 PTOs per year
  • Role: Managerial position
  • Compensation: double the salary of Job 1

I am considering taking both jobs simultaneously, but I’m worried about whether my body can handle the schedule long-term.

At the same time, I don’t feel comfortable leaving Job 1 because:

  • The HMO is very important for my family, especially my kids
  • The work environment is stable, stress-free, and something I genuinely value

What's your take on this?
