Laid off. Offered an industry job with a great team at a ~20% pay increase. Requires moving cross country, away from boyfriend, family, and network. Thoughts? I'm pre-MBA so could go back for bschool.

If you are without a job and it is a growth opportunity, it sounds good. Careful making a decision at this age for a boyfriend and networks can always be built.

Tough call homie, no one can answer but you. Questions without an obvious answer- those are the shittiest.

This seems obvious to me too - take the job. Unless the boyfriend is Tom Brady financial and physical level, no reason to turn that down. In reference to your MBA, you could take the new job and better learn what it is you want from b-school.

Second A1. If the boyfriend is serious about marrying you, it will not be a deal breaker in the long run

Thanks for the perspective, all. I guess it's more my fear about being alone in a new city and starting afresh. BF and I have talked about visits and his looking for a job in the new city so it's workable. Additionally, the industry is not something I'm looking to be in long term (though still a very respectable one). Not sure if I should be using this time off to soul search about my dream job or just take this offer and learn from it.

Yeah, be honest with yourself about you want. Try to filter out all of the external factors. Deep down, you'll know the right decision. Be careful making the decision about money at this stage in your career

Is it in SFO? Were you laid off from P? Take it. You will move for Bschool anyway.

Take it!

Do you have any idea how this role would look to bschools?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

We only have one significant competitor in our industry, and it’s likely my best option. Love my company, been with them for years, but I’m really struggling with how frustrating this situation is.
