That's a toughie; I recently changed jobs, taking a 30% pay cut, so I would no longer have to drive 40 miles up 400; it had become that important to me to stop making that awful commute.

But if it means you can begin your RLE...that's huge.

I'd say, come out at your current work. If they're okay with you working as you, stay. If they say you may not do that, accept the other job and quit.
