I have an opportunity to go work for two people who are well known in my industry where I’d work more than I currently do but learn a ton and get paid more. Otherwise I can stay in my current role where I’m not learning much, but have great WLB and am on track for a promotion where I’d nearly double my salary in the next 3-5 years but don’t expect to learn much more. Thoughts on which option makes the most sense for someone in their low 30s.

Low thirties here as well and especially if you don’t have a spouse or kids - take the leap go work for the well known industry folks.

“Track for a promotion” so it’s not set in stone yet uhhh idk if you’ve been in your current role for 4 or more years I’d leave

Do what makes you happy, that’s my motto. There’s no right or wrong path. From your description it seems like you’re excited about the possibilities of the new role. I became an accountant at 39 bc I was bored at my job and have no regrets.
