Situation in comments- TLDR- knowing that women are traditionally underpaid, and who knows if this $$ would come again, would you take $170k salary for a job that is only somewhat interesting vs current role 125k TC that you’ve been at 8yrs, love the exciting work, manager sort of toxic

I’m currently a senior manager making about 125K inclusive of bonus, at my firm where I’ve been for a little more than eight years, all as a high performer. I work a lot with data and collaborate with our IT partners, most of the time knowing more about our product and processes than they do. I also work a lot on the financial modeling side, including pricing and product strategy. the reason I’ve stuck around is because our group is the most impactful from a revenue perspective, so it’s a very exciting and visible role. I’ve been contacted by a recruiter for another local financial services company offering a more IT focused role paying 170K. Not sure if I am fully qualified for it, but it would be a lot more IT focused, and I would lose the variety (and potential excitement) that I like at my current firm. On the other hand, I have some pretty inefficient and annoying coworkers, including a boss that could be considered “toxic”, and an associate I manage that we never should’ve hired (not my choice).

If I get the offer, is it silly to turn it down, or should I wait for a role that fits what I’m looking to do long-term?

I mean, I would put up with a lot of stuff for an extra $50,000 a year. And the opportunity to get out from under a toxic manager? That seems like a no-brainer. I'd rather be bored to tears every single day and take home a cool $50k extra.

My answer would be no but the toxic manager complicates it. It’s also very personality dependent. Of course I’d love the money but I’d be so bored and then eventually have to look for something else. It’s marathon, not a sprint, so rather enjoy what I do if I’m doing it for however many years. But all dependent on how toxic the manager is, financial need and if you easily get bored lol

Are there any fully remote lawfirms, ie you don't have to live in the state they have offices?

I’ve noticed on Glassdoor, salaries for my level (Director) are higher than my base but have similar bonus opportunity. At what level of pay gap would you push or make a stink?

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)
