I’m in a great role right now. There are many perks— very flexible hybrid schedule & WLB, best boss I’ve ever had, great colleagues, interesting work, I have autonomy over the projects I work on, great culture and engaged workforce. Now the cons— I feel underpaid (CA, 6 yoe, master’s degree, 106k + 15% bonus). The industry and company culture make it difficult for change, innovation and new ideas. The work is slow paced. These frustrate me enough to job hunt but I wonder— am I being picky?

Yes.

(I got paid an obscene amount every month when I was younger, I had the exact opposite of every point you mentioned, I couldn't make it one year).

Money comes and goes, and while I can't remember what I bought with my money, I do remember the abuse and comments and and and.

Move for a better opportunity, but don't make money a factor.

Yeah totally understand your point! Culture and experience should never be sacrificed.

Yes! That’s what’s bothering me. I feel like I’m building bad habits simply because I’m not being challenged enough. The learning opportunities are there, but what’s the point of having the new knowledge if I can’t use it since it’s even difficult to innovate within my team

I took the role I am in about a year ago and it just has not been what was promised and a huge step back. I have found a good place and am content but not overly happy with my place in the company. A smaller competitor reached out for a vp position that is a huge step up responsibility wise. There would be a pay raise but not huge so money is not the motivator here. Is this crazy to seriously consider? I hate to burn bridges. I have been told I am on the partner fast track. Thoughts? Advice?

He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?
