I’m in a low-pay but chill fully remote job with great balance but no growth. Got a staff offer at a fast-growing fintech with ~50% more pay, but it’s 5 days in office with OT every day. Should I take the money and growth or keep the remote life?

Below market average (North America) for a senior tech lead role

I lean towards keeping remote. The other job seems high risk and high stress. What’s your price to do that? Could you find out more to help your decision?

You can also take the offer to your manager or HR contact, say you were sought out for the role and entertained the interview, but want to review your comp.

Say you want to stay with the business, but there is a clear disparity between market value and your current compensation (come armed with other examples of this too), and you're looking for fair compensation.

This often helps get what you want in the short term, but may put you in a position where during lay-offs you're higher on the list. You're got nothing to lose in asking. Worse case scenario you have a job offering 50% more that you can take, if you're hungry to learn and earn - take the offer and don't look back.

I'm with you, I work remote and wouldn't trade it for less than 50/60% more. But it is a tough job market, and job security is another consideration - more money is great, but not if they do layoffs in 3 months. Do want you feel is best for your career but also consider how the job will impact work/life balance.

I’d stay at the remote. But it depends on your goals.

It's a very personal thing. As long as I was comfortably affording a decent quality of life, I would stick with the low-stress remote job. I want to be enjoying life in the present, not making bank at the expense of everything so I have a little extra cash when I hit 65.
