Should I go for a new job at my company that only pays $1000 more (to increase my skillset) or should I use the tuition reimbursement program?

I've been in my current role for almost 4 years, and I'm really itching to increase my skillset and grow. A new job has opened at my company that would give me more skills, but it only pays $1000 more.

My company has a tuition reimbursement program, so I'm wondering if it would be better to stay in my current easy job and go back to school, or take the new job for the new skillset.

Go for new job

Tuition reimbursement and go back to school (stay in easy job)

Depends, whats the company field? Is it booming? Do they offer shares?

It's a technology company. I currently work in Recruiting, and this role would allow me to get more onboarding/HR experience. Yes, I actually have a good amount of shares already (30k) and it wouldn't increase just because I took this job.

Wanted to add that I want to get out of Recruiting though lol

Oh yeah definitely get in on that and talk with HR see if they can do both the position and school tuition for a part time student. Tell them your plans of wanting to move up in the company and ask them what the best path is. HR is super into folks that are motivated. Usually.
