Would you take a mediocre industry position for a 50% pay bump? Currently an associate and probably won't make it to that pay level even when I make senior. Love what I do but hard not to consider...

What's the industry position?

How is this even a question. I'd be gone yeSterday

Yes

I considered a similar move with a 30% pay bump and 40-hour work weeks... in the end I stuck around because I love travel and I thought long-term growth was better here but I do wonder sometimes...

How do you love travel dd1?

@D1 Partly because I'm in an international LDR and have friends all over the world so there's less tying me to a specific city and business travel subsidizes my otherwise hard-to-come-by visits, but I'm also a plane geek the same way many people love cars. Whatever the reason, I find myself avoiding remote weeks as an F&P option, I'd prefer T-Th 2-3-5 or late M-Th 3-4-5+. A bit weird, I know.

I work through a contractor, and was hired 2yrs ago to be a Systems Test Engineer II. They decided last minute to make me a Software Content Manager, but kept my title as is since it was supposed to be a 6mo rotation. I’m still an SCM, and am taking on leadership roles in the group. How do I ask for a title change and pay increase to reflect what I actually do? Do I ask my contract house, or my NASA mgmt? Should I ask to make the pay retroactive since I was hired to do one thing, but do another?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
