My previous career path was in marketing for a notable real estate team. I make $60k annually as a marketing director (laughable, I know). I left without another job lined up because my boss was atrocious. 2 months later and my entry level salary at a financial firm is $58k. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith that something better is out there.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
