Time to choose between what's right and what's easy

I'm writing to set things in perspective for me. In the next few days I'll mostly make the most important decision of my career (when looking back in retrospect I'll either be glad I did it or curse myself). The subject sums up the situation in one short succint phrase, taken from one of the harry potter books no less, profound I'll say!

On one side is the dream profile, front-end, sunrise sector, deal structuring, et al and on the other side is the prospect of a new location, a better life, and maybe more money. Caught between two islands, one doesn't lead to the other. They are probably as far apart as poles. None of them is a realized dream though. The latter has not shown any positive signs as yet. If I choose the latter and it doesn't come through then i'm stuck in this hole, for a long long time. The former ain't no cakewalk either. Its a very interest rate sensitive sector. Short-term scenario doesn't look good. Of course India will remain a perennial infrastructure starved land and there should be plenty of scope for infra finance companies but it has to be backed by management's will to succeed and of course their ability to manage both sides of the coin. I was lucky, is what I keep telling myself. I will not get another stab at the former or a similar role if I let go of it now, despite knowing this I am tempted to opt for the latter. Knowing all too well that there's no shining light visible at the end of the tunnel I'll head into. With the global economy teetering on the brink again, with populist measures being taken by my prospective future land's govt, it seems more and more unlikely that I stand a chance out there. But as they say, hope floats, just refuses to drown, no matter how big a sinker you attach to it. I can even put an eternal optimist to shame with my rays of hope. I hope (again) that I make the right decision. I mostly already know what's it gonna be. Maybe its for the best.
