I'm currently a SA & on track to be promo to VP in 2025. There's an internal VP posting on another team for which I've had some informal discussions with. It's almost a guarantee I get the position once I formally apply. The team informed me that though they were looking for a VP, they would hire me as a SA and I'd be promoted in 2025. I like my current job, but the incentive to leave was learning new skills + promotion/salary increase - which are equally as important. What to do!?

Hello although I am not that seasoned enough to provide advise. But as a fellow human, I would like to give few of my thoughts for you.

The choice depends on your current situation in life.

1. How many non-work related responsibility do you currently possess? (learn more thing = higher learning curve = more risk)

2. How satisfied with your current job environment, package and colleagues? (Leaving comfortable environment means rebuilding friendship, rebuilding your reputation within the circle but at the same time I would say leaving comfortable environment also make work more challenging + higher chance for growing)

Hope this helps ! All the best!

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
