Would you rather have an amazing team with a mediocre salary or a big paycheck with toxic coworkers?

A toxic team is like that reality show survivor. You have your daily job to survive, on top of that you have to manage the vote. These toxic teams always need a target. There’s usually someone leading it and a lot of weak people playing along. Overthrowing the leader takes a lot of risk, it’s a high stakes game. I’ll take the mediocre salary, find a different side gig to make up the difference.

Amazing team with mediocre salary. All day. So many positives that come along with it, the top being a better WLB and significantly less stressful workplace atmosphere, which means you’re shedding less years of your life / aging slower than those making more but are surrounded by toxic environment.

Toxic coworkers. At my first job after undergrad (not consulting), I had a toxic manager while making $18/hour. Never experienced anyone as toxic as that person, including in consulting

Amazing team every time. It will perform better over time leading to much better WLB and quickly more income.

Having experienced both of these situations at multiple companies throughout my career. Mediocre pay and a stellar team does promote a better quality of life, and helps manage burnout. It mitigates you having to work extra hard to justify your existence, and allows you to focus on the things that are inarguably more important (friends, family, investments, etc.)

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.
