Making 120k right now at a great firm, working 40 hours from wherever I want. Have an offer for 150k, unsure about work life balance. Would have to go in the office every day. Would you take it?

Nope. I’d be happy with those 120k. That much of a flexibility is gold 👌🏻

Depends on imminence of growth. If it’s 150 today with a path to an even better role at 180, 200, more, then I would look hard at it. If it’s 150 and that’s the top, then no. The freedom you have is worth so much more than 30k to me

No. Also, where are you making $120k and 100% remote? That’s my dream.

OP is probably at Accenture cause we have “strategy analysts.” Assuming OP is also counting bonus into their new 110k consultant salary. Depends where OP lives, 120k is low for NYC. Also sounds like OP is not learning much

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
