Sales Executive here, former strategy&. I make ~250k, work very little from home. I have an opportunity to be a Corp Strategy Director in big pharma but that seems like a big job from a wbl perspective. New baby on the way. Any thoughts? I am not sure the comp is that different

Keep the current role. Personally don’t think it’s a fun time to take on a big new challenge. Wait for things to settle down Covid wise and figure out life with baby.

Why do it then, you have one life, so what makes you happy; enjoy your family

Is your priority spending time with your family, or working? If the latter, do you like the work you are doing? This should lead you to the correct choice...

Are you trying to get away from travel? Would Pharma position require travel?

What will give you a better work life balance so you can enjoy seeing and being around your baby ?

Take the job. Babies make a lot of noise. Better to be in a hotel.

Honestly, $250k is enough. If you’re thinking about WLB then it matters to you; you’re not the sort who should pursue higher income.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

Please help me with making a clear decision. And i have 8+ YOE.
