I have an urgent situation that I need advice for: what job to take? I currently have 2 job offers. Offer A (Scientist 3): 70k with full benefits including 15 PTO days and 5k tuition assistance yearly. It was sent to me last Wednesday and yesterday they left me a voicemail asking for a decision at my earliest convenience. Offer B (Manager): 76k with full benefits minus tuition assistance and only 5 PTO days first year (15 days after). Both companies said they'd groom me to take management roles.

More insights: I don't have prior management work experience. I'm in an MBA program to get my Master's. I'm being retaliated at work because I applied for a different position within my current company. They denied me of a big raise citing that I'd be leaving anyway (which is absurd because I don't have an offer for that position yet). So, I need to leave my current company because of the retaliation. It wasn't the first time they denied me of a raise for reasons unrelated to work performance.
About the job offers: company A kind of promised they would work with me towards management. Company B will train me to be a manager. They're even giving me the title Manager.

like

1. Will you use the tuition assistance? (If not, then don't consider it in your decision)

2. Is 5 days PTO for the next year acceptable?

3. Do you want to be a manager?

If 2 & 3 are yes, then Offer B. If you're not sure you want to be a manager, then think about that specific point until you can decide yes or no.

like

1. I'm currently using the tuition assistance for my MBA. I'll be using it for the next 2 years.

2. I have a commitment later this year that I'll be overseas for 2-3 weeks. I can take the unpaid time off route for this commitment if it's allowed (company B).

3. I do want to be a manager. Company B knows that at this point I'm not up for the position. So they included in my offer that I wouldn't be managing people now. I'll still do associate work under the Manager title. I think they'll bring me up to speed at least in the first 6 months or so. They did ask me in the interview how long it would take me to be fluent in my role. Company A made promises that they would groom me for management. The title is called Scientist 3 at company A.

I’d really question the type of company that would offer a new employee only 5 days off for the rest of the year.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up.

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
