I need help with a little perspective as to whether some red flags I'm experiencing are valid or if I'm being unreasonable in my standards. Let me start by saying I am very aware that the offer is good and I'm not ungrateful.

I've just finished up interviewing and negotiating for a new position. I'm coming from a mid level title but a six figure salary. Plus I had very progressive benefits like monthly mental health days, wfh stipends, health stipends and a 20% bonus. To be continued below...

You’ve already got some hefty red flags regarding the lack of diversity and their unwillingness to become more inclusive. You can do better than a 5k bump, especially for that kind of environment. Just my two cents.

It is hard to force diversity on a culture that is not open to it. I view company culture like a relationship with your partner. You shouldn't expect them to change. You need to change or you need to change to a new partner/company.

I had a great work life balance, the work was sometimes boring but that happens. I didn't choose to leave, unfortunately the company went under and I had to search for something new.

The new position I've just finished negotiations with is offering a pretty minimal benefits package. The perks don't compare to what I had before. But it's an interesting opportunity where I would have significant influence in the brand. The position is a senior position titled Design Manager on the track to creative director. So I see the benefits in terms of career growth however the salary is only a 5k bump with a 15% bonus pending company performance. The red flags I'm worried about is that this company isn't diverse and not willing to become more inclusive. This is really important to me as a double minority. While I think I can have a lot of influence in the brand and I think I can bring this to light I'm worried how much push back I will get and that this company culture may turn toxic. I guess I'm looking for an outside perspective if this is a smart career move?

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.
