Should I take this new job even though it is shift work/will cut into my social life/isn't financially better than my current work? I absolutely detest working with my tech lead to the point that I don't want to go to work but this new job doesn't sound any better. Do I jump to this new job position

25/M. Electrical Engineer. Early in my career.

A lot of details (TLDR at the bottom) but I have been looking for a new job because the one that I'm currently in is toxic and the dread of going to work makes it super difficult to wake up every morning.

Current job:

Pros:

+++ I travel a lot which is nice since it breaks the monotony of office life. I prefer to travel less but it's easier to charge time when I'm on travel.

+++ I have a flexible schedule. I take every other friday off which is nice and the new job offer I have won't allow me to do this.

+++ On top of the flexible schedule, I can go to work whenever I really want which is nice. I don't have a set schedule to adhere to.

++ Financially, I'm a bit better here but it's more inconsistent due to the amount of overtime I charge and the job/travel I am working. I also get travel per diem which is a little but it does add up.

Cons:

- I'm forced to go on travel a lot. I want to get my masters degree but its hard when I'm on the road all the time.

-- Traveling really bites into my social life. I lost several weekends going on travel when I really want to stay home. I'm more of a homebody but traveling does has it perks.

--- I detest my job life and working on my current project. I detest working for my tech lead and every day, I just hate going to work because me bites into me all the time. I try to actively avoid him but he also sits right behind me and micros me.

--- I don't really care much for the project and what I do to be honest. It's not something I'm interested in making my career. I know most people don't care much for their jobs but I want to be one of those engineers that are a least motivated to keep on working.

--- The dread of mondays leak into my Sundays now. I wake up thinking about how I have to go to work on Monday and how I can avoid my tech lead. I just hate going to work.

--- It's gotten to the point that I get irritated by my phone and just hoping that it isn't my tech lead calling me. It's giving me the sense of anxiety and dread just having my phone near me. It's like being in a bad relationship and you absolutely hating the other persons guts. (For the record, I don't hate him, I hate working with him)

New Job:

Pros:

+++ I will work on another project which sounds really interesting and is much more important than my current job. I think I can develop a lot more as an engineer going into this job.

+++ I get another environment which doesn't seem particularly bad in terms of people but I'm just speculating+ Guaranteed 10 hours overtime per pay period which equates to something around 33% increase in my yearly take home.

Cons:

--- 50 hour work weeks , shift schedule. I don't care much for my sleep schedule but the lack of freedom to take off every other Friday and to go into work whenever I want is making this position really hard to want.

--- On top of that. Shift Schedule sounds terrible since I also wouldn't be in a position to get my masters degree.

--- On top of that, I'm basically on call and I may be working on weekends as well. It's a mandatory 50 hour week which sounds absolutely draining.

-- It's a lateral movement. I don't get a raise. I don't get much more for rotating over to that position. Just added responsibility.

--- I think I make less than I currently would at my current job since I don't travel at all.

When people talk about work, they tell you the fun, interesting, exciting aspects of their job. My genuine answer would be that I complain about the work environment, the job that I do, the amount of traveling I have to take, and most importantly how much I detest working for my tech lead. I think it's time for a new job which is why I'm looking but the current position I'm looking at doesn't sound really any much better. What should I do?

tldr; I really don't like working for my tech lead and I'm looking for a new position/new project to work on but it's a long process. I got an offer for shift work at another part of the company but it sounds pretty bad and the only positive seems like it's just a better opportunity to be a better engineer which I value a lot.What should I do? I absolutely detest working for my tech lead and I hate going to work and I have gotten to the point in which I get irritated by my phone, hoping who ever is calling/texting isn't my tech lead/supervisor. Every day, the dread of going to the office over takes me and is only alleviated if I go on travel which I don't want to travel as much since it bites into my social life
