Career crossroads...or not. I have 18 YOE and make ~450 TC as an IC at a pubco. Promotion not likely for another 3-5 years assuming ppl retire, get promoted themselves, and even then not guaranteed. Ive turned down jobs in past because I am mostly remote and its pretty easy gig with low hours. How long should I keep riding this out or do I need to leave at some point for a "higher level/managing" job?

450 sounds incredible, remote even moreso. I’d stay and ride it out for as long as you can. Adding another 25-75k is not worth it, especially given what will remain after tax, for adding on a commute and worse hours.

Yeah I assume next level position would be 50-100k more. Which sounds good but not sure if worth the gamble of giving up my relatively easy gig.

I agree. Ride the wave. 450 is an incredible amount for what you describe.

seriously this seems like a no brainer

If you're securities counsel, you could probably push another $50-75K max without sacrificing WLB, but it's not guaranteed.

Teacher 1 is the corporate strategy guy with a new acct lol

whats your networth

yeah coast man

I agree ride this out. I think salaries are down even for people with your level of experience. I have slightly less YOE and I am looking and I would gladly switch places with you as I do not make that much. Hope that helps your decision making. I also think the ability to “progress” in levels will be there if things change for you there.

100% stay. But if you leave your job please let me know so I can have it

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
