[quote=Anonymous]I was going to say YES for the 70k. While people around here always say you get "nothing" after taxes, I usually expect to bring home about 50% after all taxes/deductions/retirement etc. So 70k is another 35k coming in, which is almost 3k per month. Who couldn't use (or save) another 3k per month in their late 30s -- it'll be the difference between fully funding an ivy vs. telling your kids to go to state school.

BUT research into it further bc 3 people leaving a job in 5 yrs is NOT good and if you find there's something that drives people out, then chances are it'll drive you out too -- and you will have given up a 150k job for it; there are no guarantees that you'd necessarily get your old job back or get an equivalent at 150k. The last thing you want is to go do this, be so miserable in 3 months that you have to leave, and then find the job offers you're landing are for 120k or 130k -- obviously saving an extra 3k/month for 3 months isn't worth that kind of long term cut.[/quote]
