I turned down a job that offered me a salary increase from to 110k from 95k. For reference I was laid off at the end of 2022 and I started my new job a week ago and then had the second offer come in. The second company knew I had a standing offer and offered me the role a week into this new one. The 95k job is more at a more stable company and has much better benefits but the new company prob has more upside, def less stable. I know it’s hard to tell but wondering if I did the right thing.

Stability right now is good. If you have less chance of being fired I would say you did the right thing.

The benefits can easily make up half. When reflecting on a life affecting decision, don't focus on the (relatively) small salary difference

Trust your instincts. I think the stability alone easily outweighs the pay difference. In this economy, I consider that to be pretty valuable. You're doing good.

Who else started with small businesses and moved up to medium and large at agencies structured to handle it? I handle 40 clients and some 60 Content managers, ad managers, designers, developers, and a smattering of other positions.
