Date: October 27th, 2021 2:37 PM Author: Floppy ultramarine tanning salon corn cake TY. It really will be. Wife also works and together this pushes our HHI to the 550-600K range, which is important since we live in a high COL area (not SF/NYC but expensive). If they had only offered me like 200K, I probably wouldn't have taken it. We are getting by fine now, but we can barely invest/save like we want to.

10% bonus = 269K (+104K from current job) 20% bonus = 294K (+129K from current job)
It'll be like 60-80K more take home $$$$, depending on bonus, which is what makes this so tough. I'm currently not stressed and making enough to get by. But this extra money would help us save more. Also the new job isn't the worlds most stressful gig, it's just a more consistent 9-5 whereas I can fuck off greatly in my current job. |

Also can just happen over time as you stay somewhere and are expected to know more and do more as you linger around. Part of the value of a job hopping strategy is that you’re scored on an easier curve for a while in each new job bc you’re “learning how things are done” and “ramping up.” The assumption of all the stay option advocates ITT is that he can get away with not working much indefinitely, but that’s not very often the case. I had a job that was easy and 180 and paid about what the OPs current job pays but over time people got to know me and I got to be a more senior member of the team and gradually 2-3 hours of real work a day became 6-7 with spikes up to 10-11.

extra money basically funds all of our investments and preschool $$$$, which we really needed
wife also makes more now so our HHI is over 600K easily
I work harder but I also feel more of a sense of fulfillment
this is much better for my future career
while my old job was 2 hours a day this is maybe 4 at most, I can handle it
also old job situation got a lot worse after I left |
