Just joined a new firm. Have an opportunity to leave for more money at a higher level at another firm now. What would you do?

I'd consider the difference in pay, title, the sort of work you'll be doing, the WLB, and the firm's rep / exit ops.

That said, do what's best for you, these firms don't really care about you.

It’d be a $40k increase in base plus $30k signing

It's not always about a marginal pay bump. Find what you actually want to do

Also ask yourself if you can perform at the higher level. It will be assumed you are operating at that level on day 1

Leave

If you don't have a history of frequent jumping, then ok. If your resume is full of jobs that are less than a year, don't leave... yet.

Does anyone ever question the possibility of going to law school?

I’m a 23yo female legal assistant working/living in Canada. I am completing my BA in hopes of continuing with law school after. But, I just turned 23 and I’m anxious about my love life and starting a family. I haven’t had a boyfriend since 2019 and I’ve poured my heart and soul into my education & career.

I’ve always wanted to go to law school since age 14. But I also want a husband/kids. I don’t feel like I can have both.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

I have $100k from an annuity invested with Schwab and managed by a brokerage firm. My parents set me all up with this when I got access to the funds at age 21. So I’m not sure of the complete breakdown other than the fact that it’s diversified according to my tolerance for risk

Now, I also have $25k liquid cash I’d like to do something with. Should I just add it to the existing portfolio, or create a separate, self-managed account?
