Would you take a 20-25% pay raise to go from Big 4 to Industry? Factors include: industry role is less remote (1 remote day) similar/slightly less benefits package, starting new… Role seems more appealing to me initially. Anything to really take advantage of or consider?

Yes and Yes. Industry hours are much less

How far is it? And it’s definitely less work for you. 20-25% is good to jump.

It’s pretty flexible I think you can negotiate to 3 days offices. It’s a good opportunity though. Market has been rough.

Starting soon, I’ll be working from the office four days a week, with a 1.5-hour round-trip commute. While it’s a change in routine, the role comes with a nearly 40% salary increase plus stock options. More importantly, it offers valuable industry experience that I believe will open even greater opportunities in the future. If you think it will help you in the long term, go for it!
