We could feasibly cover expenses and have pretty good quality of life at $300-400k, less once kids are out of daycare ages. We both prefer to work. Currently HHI $700k with 3 kids in southern CA

LCOL. Probably financially $250-300k to maintain a bit more than our current lifestyle. I would not stay at home. My wife and I have both done it during COVID for various reasons, and while I cherish the time spent with my son, I need to work, especially since he is about to start school soon.

Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
