I hate the culture at my current agency but love my SO and the city we live in. Got a job offer for better clients and a 30k raise in another state. Do I take it?

What city to what city? Kind of impossible to answer and depends on what you like about your current city. I will say that a toxic work culture is well, toxic.

Would SO be coming with? Orrr... also is cost of living comparable or would it eat the $30k?

Cost of living is actually significantly cheaper in new city. Makes it very tempting to accept the offer. It's a 2 hr flight between cities. SO is maybe open to moving after a while but I don't want to live there for more than a year or two max. Current city has one major agency that I currently work at - it's near impossible to find another gig.

If you do, why did you apply and get to the stage is receiving an offer out of state? Also, is this within driving distance?? Plenty of people work and live in different states....

stage *of

If you're under 30, go for it. Otherwise find a better job in the city that you love.

depends how serious you are about them. If you want to marry them, maybe reconsider. If this isn't 100% the real deal, then go where the money is

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

I'm having the last loop interviews with Amazon for an analyst position, but I'm realizing that it might not be the right place for me, I'm currently working at hpe and have a good balance, 11+ YOE, I'm not sure if it's really worth the effort.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
