What do you do when you really like your job/boss because of the time it gives to take care of your grandparents and kids, but you keep getting recruiters offering 100k more? Can I use this at year end to ask for a bigger raise? Current TC 150k, work in industry not consulting anymore

I really like my previous boss (but not previous job), so I switched for almost 100k more recently. However, the new lack of WLB/faster pace is super clear since day 1. The experience is echoed by my friends who switched for big bumps in comp—basically the consensus is you can’t have everything. Just something to think about.

Hm well what do you need the most right now, the extra base or the extra time? There’s always time to make more money, but you won’t get your current time back esp if your aging grandparents and kids need the extra attention right now.
If you think you can find a company that offers much more AND you can set strict boundaries for yourself, then go for it. Or keep looking for those places in the meanwhile.

You're unlikely to go from 150k to 250k at your current place, but you can ask and see. Do some research and decide what you want more: your current wlb, or 67% more money plus the culture/wlb/etc of the new job.

For that much, I would suffer temporarily…But that’s not necessarily good advice, that’s just my weakness right now.

If you can handle your life right now financially, and you like your job and coworkers, I would say that you shouldn’t be persuaded by flashy temptation to burn out.

Same situation happened with me, great boss and team but was offered a 50% increase and I wanted out of the work we did. Hurts but we left on great terms

Hi all! I’m an engineer working in the global health space and I’m finding it’s a small, small pool.

Anyone who’s worked in nonprofit spaces - did you stay? Did you switch to consulting/government/etc or go corporate? I’ve been applying without much response, and I’m debating whether a PMP very or masters is going to be necessary.
