Decide Whether to Prioritise Freedom or Security at This Stage of Your Life

The choice keeps coming up in different forms: take the stable job or the uncertain one, sign the lease or keep options open. This maps what each option actually means in your situation, what your choices so far have revealed about your preference, and what you would need to believe for each to be right.
