Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?
Anyone have experience at the FTC?

Don’t confuse “work” with “social interaction.” Be home and working all day, and make plans to do things with friends & family in the evenings. You’ll be amazed at how much more work you can get done when you’re not wasting “work time” having water-cooler chats & such. Meet up with a friend for lunch once a week. Go out and get coffee in the morning.
Yup this. If anything, I now have more time to socialize since I’m not wasting away hours of my day commuting.
We play golf and get drinks on weekends
