I’m torn between staying at my current remote job with a small business that’s losing its biggest contract and struggling to find new clients this year, or moving to a large company that offers an 8.4% pay increase and much better benefits. The new role is hybrid (2 days in the office) and starts at a junior level.

Should I stay with the current uncertainties or switch to the new role with a pay bump and better benefits but less remote flexibility? Any advice?

I worked at a medium agency that lost its two biggest clients and struggled to find new ones. I was one of the top PMs there. Instead of jumping ship, I stayed and ended up becoming one of the 40+ people laid off at their SECOND round of layoffs. They had a third a few months ago.

I would jump to the new position, especially if there’s growth opportunities and the commute isn’t bad. The job market is rough right now, and it’s better to jump than potentially struggle after getting laid off by staying. If the company is looking at financial difficulties, jump now while you still have the chance.

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
