I'm currently in a role with a company I've been with 8 years. I'm very comfortable at this point and have great work-life balance with decent pay. Another company has made me an offer for approximately $25k per more for the same IC role. In meeting with the account managers at the new company, the work-life balance is definitely not as good. It also seems there is a bit more oversight and micanagement. Do all think the extra money is worth this trade-off?

I personally do not think it’s worth it if it is already known the work life balance would be disrupted. How much it would be changed is the determining factor for you.

How much better would 25k make your life?? If you’re making good money and your needs are met I don’t see why making the change would be a positive when you know work/life balance would suffer

All great thoughts, appreciate it everyone!

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales.

How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
