Should I move to another firm and take the higher pay (20% more) and do more work I’d enjoy doing and have better growth and long term career potential, while sacrificing my current title (would have to step down from associate to analyst), WLB, and team chemistry?

I made that jump from associate to analyst and will be starting at a organization that I genuinely enjoy with work I love. It’s so worth it including the pay bump, growth and exit ops. My WLB won’t be the same but the phrase “find a job you love and you won’t work a day in your life” is relevant here and definitely worth it

Ignore title. “VP” at other companies (e.g. JPMorgan) mean absolutely nothing since they correspond to much different tiles at Capital One. Focus on pay, happiness and learning. Don’t let titles distract you or make you envious of others.

Money aside... I'm in AM at a large mutual fund. Analysts are higher titles than Associates. At MFs and HFs the titles are the reverse of the IBD / PE title hierarchy.

Don’t sacrifice WLB…

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
