I've got two offers on the table right now. One is a senior role at a regional accounting firm that's building out its FDD service line, one is a finance role at a F100 company that involves moving from a LCOL area to HCOL. Salary bump is only 10% though.

Workwise, the corporate job seems smart, but I'd probably have to sell my house to make the finances work, and I'd likely get transferred back to this area in 2-3 years. I also like where I live.

Does anyone have any advice on the choice?

A 3rd option is stay where you’re at and wait for a better offer

10% is not enough to go from LCOL to HCOL. When did you buy your house? If it was when interest rates were below 4/5%, then you’d be in a much worse financial situation if you had to sell, move to HCOL and then move back in a few years

Seem like two pretty non compelling offers

like

Two terrible offers. Selling your house to move to HCOL from LCOL only for a 10% raise is not worth it.

First you lose your network equity at your current job, then house and then moving back? Just wait for better, these are poor.

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
