T2 Asso - got an offer for corp stratetgy in the consumer industry. $120k base with 10% bonus. It’s a ~40% pay cut from my current role. The industry is interesting but I’m also interested in other things. Would you take this offer? Don’t currently expect layoffs (knock on wood lol; can prob last another year or so before I/they pull the trigger)

My rule of thumb is leave for a minimum of 20%-25% increase or if I completely hate the work or need better WLB max of 20% pay cut

Stay put and keep looking/get a promo and then leave

nope not worth a 40% pay cut - you’ll feel it in your wallet and your ability to build a nest egg early. pass unless truly miserable.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
