Am I crazy to turn down a 180K VC job in SF? Top brand, but I honestly do not want to work that hard.

Nah you’re not. Nothing is more important than your own sanity. What’s the VC’s name? Asking for a friend.

Yep unless you know you will work significantly lesser hours and will be happier in consulting. It’s more about future opportunities than the TC they are offering you.

That's all VC is paying? I wouldn't know how to live in the Bay on only $180K and still feel happy.

Nice. Good for you D1.

Depends on the alternative and your long term goals

180K TC? What’s the TC and hours in your current role, and how many hours do you expect to work per week in the VC role?

Do banks (i.e. mortgage lenders / brokers) take your rsus into consideration when they look at your compensation package of a public company since its basically like cash or are they only look at your base + 2 years of bonuses. (I know they want 2 years of bonuses from having worked in the financial services industry where cash year and bonuses are a big part of total tc)

Again, the rsus are rsus of a very liquid large tech company. Assuming this matters in the banks consideration.
