I’d choose JOB B.

What?

Just posted the details below...I was limited by some character count.

JOB A
- SVP in an agency, a client-facing role
- 4-8 direct + indirect reports, so day-to-day is more managerial
- ~230k TC
- 100% remote but expect to work ~50 hrs, including some out-of-state traveling once every couple month
- Unlimited PTO
- Not many learning opportunities, somewhat boring tasks
- Average colleagues, harder tasks will require many rounds of hand-holding your direct reports
- A hands-on culture, the new boss will like to oversee the work, especially on important projects
- Somewhat a high-stress and very deadline-driven environment
- Better upward growth opportunities for titles and comps, basically a guaranteed ED promotion in 3-4 years if you keep doing good work. No peer competition currently.

I would go with A. Back office won't help your career unless you want to stick with it.

Do you have kids and/or are burnt out on longer hours?

I’d take B unless you are really driven or want to take true advantage of fully remote

Incoming AC at Bain, previously was deciding between Bain and McKinsey.

Would it be difficult to try to transition to working in government after a few years at Bain? Any thoughts?
