Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

You don’t !!!!! Tell them you don’t have a number yet and are looking to learn more about the opportunity
“Depends on the opportunity as there are a lot of factors beyond just base salary. Can you please provide the salary range for this role?”
They won’t say no and now you’ll know if it’s a waste of your time without losing leverage in salary negotiations later. Never give the first number.
130k
YOE means NOTHING! 4 yoe at MBB and you should be at $250-300k; 4 yoe in an auto manufacturer and you are still below $150k
Are you stuck to your number from the first conversation or does it really begin when you receive an offer?
You already know my answer: it depends
