Chill - other one is setup to burnout

Money is only great at first but if you’re constantly answering calls and emails past hours, that extra $10k or $15k more gets old real quick

Chill.

Chill. Without question. boundaries = balance = happiness

This is exactly what I am debating right now. Job one is more senior but the vibe feels really weird. No one seems happy. The other is more junir and $30K less BUT I love the team & the vibe & the work/life balance & culture is amazing!

For people in this bowl who argued that volatility would drop as last week progressed, nice call👏! But curious as to what the thought process is, especially given the volatile earnings season, rising # of cases, weakness in improving economic data.
