Assuming comparable salaries (though maybe not identical), I’d select the first. Way fewer hours and likely a lot more latitude. Work probably wouldn’t be as dynamic, but work/life balance is more critical to me at this stage.

If comp for the Mgr. role was 20% less or more than the other, I’d probably have to reconsider.
