When you select projects, which consideration factor is more important? i.e. WLB, the client, your role on the project, the content itself, the partner, the team, etc.

WLB

Team is number one, because it decides everything else.

Then maybe new fields and clients or problems

I’ve actually never taken a project bc of work life balance. Something I’ve been thinking of, as of late, but it wasn’t a consideration prior because I cared more about the team, work, and client, and that usually meant a tougher project

Right now I don’t have a choice and I’ll take any lower level staff I can get because we’re overwhelmed with work. Glad we didn’t hire very many people because of covid...

None. I select or am assigned targets and once won, they are my projects. When I select those it’s based on known factors of the client and whether I think they’ll bring in revenues. Either that or the partner assigns it out. I have yet to have the luxury of selecting an engagement.

The team / people. I’d rather be on a 12hrs/day study with excellent people than 10hrs/day with assholes. It makes a huge difference in my happiness!

I have never selected a project while working for a firm. They have all been given to me. No never felt in a position to say no. Having said that, my leadership has been pretty decent at trying to find me something I was asking for (I.e, smaller project, shorter duration, close to home, etc)

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
