Transitioning from K-8 to High School

I always thought of myself as a high school teacher. For the past ten years, I have taught 7th and 8th grade and enjoyed it a lot. However, I still feel as though I'd like to end up in a high school. I also feel that it's time to move on from my current school if the right opportunity presents itself. Therefore, I've been applying to K-8 schools as well as high schools. I am applying for both administrative jobs (K-8 and high school) and teaching jobs (high school only).

I am on to the second round of interviews to be an assistant principal at a K-8 school, and it sounds like there are only a few candidates remaining.

I am wondering:

• If I do get offered the job, is this an appropriate move if I ultimately want to work in a high school? (It doesn't have to be right now, obviously, but someday)
  
• Am I better off staying where I am until a high school starts showing me more interest?
