hi fishies! I'm wondering what people think about ESG investing and how much ESG metrics / data points impact your decision to invest (or not invest) in a company? Would you find it helpful to see things like "percentage of women on the board", "ceo pay" etc. within an investment app before making a decision to purchase stocks from that company?

Just finished my first year in audit. Recruiter reached out to me for a role with a 30% bump in salary. Total comp included it gets closer to 45%. I actually enjoyed my first year and especially being done with busy season now feeling pretty good. Not at all actively looking to leave, but just looking for advice on if I would be crazy for not pursuing an opportunity for so much more money at least a little further. Really what I care about is my long term career more than anything
