[quote=Anonymous]Interesting. I'm in a similar boat. Current job pays $200k and might go to $250 within 2 years, $300k within 5 to 10. I WFH 3-4 days a week, otherwise have flex hours (read: leave at 3pm if I want), I have unlimited vacation, and a 7.5% 401k match. I have a team of 8 reporting to me either directly or indirectly. I'm 34, and have about $1.2 to $1.3M in the bank (net).  I work 40 to 50 hours a week.

Have another job that might bump me to $250 now, would include base, bonus and equity...$300k might be 2 years out....but I imagine long ass hours and no flexibility. Case in point: the recruiter called me Friday night at 7pm. Alarm bells were going off. 2nd round interviewer asked me "How many hors do you work?" (Another red flag). Asked to describe the culture he said "used to be family friendly, but is moving back to business basics". (Another flag I think). It also sounds like, despite the higher salary, I'd not have any directs. That might matter a lot at the next job - feels weird to say i make $300k with no directs. I suspect no work from home, or much more limited WFH. Plus the commute is out to near Dulles (from DC) so I guess that's at least an hour. And I currently work for a well known firm, this one is no-name. Plus, as an exec at the firm, there would be little opportunity for growth. On the flip side $250 vs $200 is a big leap - and on paper anyway, its a promotion.

All said, I'm leaning towards staying put. WWYD?
