Currently earning 133k, fully remote with a decent DC pension match (6%). Limited growth due to smaller organization.

Potential offer with a bank, 2-3x in office. 145k but "Director" title and better growth opportunities.

Is this worth the hop?

Was making 200K and worked less than 10 hours a week on average at TD. WLB is absolutely amazing at major bank vs the start up where I'm at. Wish I could go back..

There's no growth in banks, but good WLB and reasonable job security

Career growth-wise: go for it! Assuming the director role has some technical (strategy vs tactical) practice and not purely peopleOps ( unless you are done-done with cyber :) )

Money /Saving -wise: check the numbers (tax brackets, benefits, commuting budget), net increase may not be much (not accounting for time).

Haha I agree. With GO and time, bet increase may as well be negligible. Looking at it purely from a growth perspective

Maybe talk to your team about professional development opportunities? At least in my experience, smaller orgs are better to take on more responsibilities and for you to play a more important role than large companies that have specialized roles
