Credit analyst is probably more interesting, higher potential salary, and better exit opportunities. I'd take it.

Meh, not a big enough jump to justify the change imo

You need to look at the mobility of you accepted. Meaning this 95k is just the starting point. You need to ask what the career and promotion track is. If there isn’t a career track and you top out at 95k with small incremental raises then not worth it. If there is a strong career track and room to grow aggressively commensurate with your skill and efforts then worth it.

Ok so seems like a decent gig. What’s holding you back? Also sounds like you have some underlying expectations. Have your written ALL of those out and does this offer meet/exceed those expectations?

Major bank in NYC sounds like bad hours. What are the hours? It's only good if the hours are low.

No idea what the hours like… but i assume it is 9-5 usually and then they said there are some allocated deadlines maybe quarterly. tbh i got so used to the big4 work hours i still havent seen the greener side.

Recently got an offer for salesforce sales strategy (105K TC) vs Morgan Stanley IB Strategy (135K TC). Salesforce will be 40-50 hours a week remote until 2022 and then will have a hybrid working model, most likely going in office 2-3 times a week vs Morgan Stanley will be on average 60 hours a week in office full time. Is it worth the 30K extra in compensation to commute to office daily + 10-20 more hours per week? In terms of pay progression, I think Morgan Stanley will definitely be a lot fast

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
