I am at a crossroads. I left PA a little while ago and have built a good team. I have done a lot of cleanup along the way. Honestly, I did not expect to put so much effort in this role.

On one side, I can see a cushy job in 4-6 months but will little chance of career progress (and salary increase).

On the other side, I was approached for a job, similar to what I did in PA, that comes along with about 25% increase in hours per week and 50% salary increase.

WLB or money? WWYD?

Have you talked to any recruiters? I’m thinking that with three years in this role, you should be able to move to another industry role with a similar salary increase and hours, and then hop every 3 to 4 years until you end up in a place that gives a good salary and RSUs.

I have a “commitment to an offer” at 150-170k from a BB. They said they can’t give me the offer until Feb/March until they ramp up their current hires and figure out their budget, but the HM said the best thing I can do is to get another offer to use as leverage.

I’m about to receive an offer from a different company at 100-115k. Would much rather work at the BB (better company/position). Is it even worth me bringing this offer to use as leverage, or is the salary discrepancy too much?
