commuter school, bottom of M7, coasting on success of dinosaur alums and previous professors (hey have you heard of the intelligent investor??), and the thing that is consistently brought up - terrible facilities

Same reason people hate on other firms, everyone has their own opinion and experiences.

I love Columbia. I live in NYC and have no interest moving anywhere else.

Rest on Ivy laurels and being in NYC but hanging on the bottom of M7. Facilities suck. Many students already in NYC and go because it’s convenient and high ranked, so “community” is debatable.

Without looking, I was recently offered a role at another company for about 30% more salary and 10x the amount of stock options, but I have only been at my current employer for less than a year and feel really guilty about leaving so soon into my tenure. My current employer might match salary, but there's no chance the options get matched.

I'm wondering if I should take the new position, even after less than a year at my company? I can't shake my guilt even though it seems like a no-brainer.
