Don't. In my experience the scrum masters are the first to go when the company decides to cut cost. Good developers are tougher to get rid of. Even tho at the moment the market isn't good for either.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
