[quote=Anonymous]I am 30, currently making $175K in "Role A". I have a skillset that would easily allow me to get a job in "Role B" (which is a role I've held before).

"Role B" would pay around $150K, I'd likely max out around $200K, but I'd be highly employable for the rest of my career, the WLB would be decent (likely fully remote). The job security and flexibility are important to me, since my husband has an inflexible (but very stable) job and we are looking to start a family soon-ish.

"Role A" has the potential to be extremely lucrative ($500K+ a year) at the highest level, but I doubt I would make it to that level and think I'd hate it if I did. It's pretty volatile (I'm currently concerned about being laid off), poor WLB, and the exit opportunities likely would not be as lucrative. I do have a decent network and find the work more interesting and rewarding than "Role B."

Given the current market, I'm increasingly considering jumping to "Role B", but something is holding me back. WWYD if you were me? [/quote]
