Depends what the $50k is worth to you haha
1000% agree lol
$50,000 more… than what? If you’re making $42,000 a year currently, than absolutely. If you’re making $300,000 a year, hell no.
Yup it’s all relative and in my experience, companies paying grossly more for the same or like job, are doing so b/c they know it’s a hot mess. Turnover is likely high too. These are companies I avoid and don’t even want on my resume as others in industry know people went there chasing dollars.
Echo what the professional above said. If this doubles your salary then yes. If it's 20 percent increase then doesn't make sense. I'd keep looking also as the market has shifted upwards drastically.
The extra pay is like buying a new and larger TV. You get used to it after a few weeks. But a terribly toxic org makes your life miserable and you'll eventually leave
It’s funny I just accepted an offer for 50k more my last salary at JPM. With more salary comes demands however you have to be comfortable setting personal boundaries. While being young in career certain sacrifices have to be embraced for your long hall goals. Are you comfortable now or feel you need this growth your interviewing for a reason.
JPM hasn't been giving the people what they want... $$$... where'd you end up?
I think you have to weigh the department the complaints are coming from and what level people are at compared to where you will be. People are more likely to post negative things than positive anyways.. but you could ask some follow up questions to the hiring manager (if you didn’t already ask these) such as why is this position open, has there been a lot of turnover, what is the WLB like in this role…
Definitely don’t ignore but I would def look at how many negative comments. Do the negative outweigh the positive? Also when were the comments posted? If older, maybe the company has improved. Definitely don’t ignore, do your research.

Keep in mind people are 7x more likely to write a bad review vs a good review. There’s always going to be more bad reviews on Glassdoor etc. Also consider the manager and team you’ll be working for, if you got a good vibe from them then I’d say go for it.
You have to decide what $50k means to you & compare any loss of benefits that may eat up that money. Ex. if you lose 401k match or stocks then you want to use that $50k to supplement so your retirement is still on track.
Did you not ask questions during your interviews to gauge if you wanted to work there? Id think you would’ve gotten some red flags then. You could also ask the recruiter you are working with to comment on some of those reviews just to get a sense.
Also if you are leaving current role for money reasons (and not other reasons) you could leverage this offer to get an increase (if you are not in an environment with strict bands like professional services)
I wouldn't ignore it, just proceed with caution. How much do you like the place you are currently at? It would be hard for me to pass up 50k.
Sounds like its my company. Its not worth the extra 50k unless you can tough it out for 2 years and move on.
Nope but close
