For those of you in a HCOL city, what's the max cut in total comp would it take for you to take a job in industry for good WLB vs what you make today in consulting? E.g. made 200k but willing to drop to 150k etc.

Would depend how drastic a change in WLB 65-60s to guaranteed 40? probably 25-30k but 45 to 35 probs nothing. Also at only 200k would want to look around for roles that at least match because that seems realistic.

Which company would you join?

I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from
Sprout Social and Gong. Both salaries are around the same (Gong - base 63k + anticipated $25k in commission, Sprout - 55k base + anticipated $25k in commission).

I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.

Help!
