Ugh idk I would take a job w only 3 weeks (15 days) PTO. I expect 20 min. I would negotiate for that if you choose the second job. Just my two cents

like

If it's a company that actually means unlimited and sets a minimum, AND there's a positive culture then go for it.

I was skeptical at first, but my boss is aggressive about having us take ateast 15 days and told us to target 20-25. I can't see unlimited PTO working out without this culture.

Company B is growing 150-200% every yr so more of a chance Ill get promoted quicker.

Tbh totally depends on what you want at this point in time. Is it career growth or wlb that means the most for you and decide accordingly :)

I guess this comes down to work life balance vs progression (and company growth). What’s most important to you at this point? If you’re single might consider Company B. If you’re not and have additional family obligations (kids, aging parents, etc), I would defer to Company A.

No kids, single. I would like to retire earlier than most.

Sounds like it comes down to wlb. Which do you value more and where are you in life in terms of family, community involvement, outside work interests, etc...

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?
