Did I just mess up? I turned down an offer because the hours felt unsustainable, even though the salary was a huge bump. Would you turn down a decent offer because the trade-off (e.g., WLB) was just too high?

Would love to know details.

What was the offered comp and where are you now?

What was the articulated hours requirement?

Would also love to know what you liked and didn't like about the new firm as well as your current firm. These all come into play when evaluating a decision.

My work life balance is too important to me, I think I would have chosen the same as you. I already live comfortably enough and I would rather have personal time to enjoy my hobbies.

I'm still pretty new in my career and I don't have a wife or kids, so I would probably take more money over better hours. But eventually I will prioritize the work life balance and want to reduced hours. I think it all depends on where you are in your life.

What’s the starting salary for an accountant?

Received an offer at 300k/year and a Google offer at 200k/year.
I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship.

He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
