I’m navigating a career decision and would value your input. I have two offers:
1. Developer: Hands-on coding at a 35-person startup, where I’d manage all development with one contractor. Compensation is $40K less than the other role.
2. Solution Architect: Leadership-focused at a 300-person company, overseeing strategy and teams, no coding involved.

I’m leaning toward the architect role but want to ensure I’m considering growth, stability, and satisfaction. Your advice would mean a lot!

Industry vets - in your experience how recession proof is insurance? I was not yet in the job market last recession but I watched my mom get laid off and struggle to find employment during that time for the next 1.5 years.

Is it better to stay put?
