[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the advice and good questions, I'll answer a few.

I wasn't out looking for a new job, a former colleague went there and asked that I send her my resume when she saw an opening. I hesitated because I have been very happy in my current position for 6 years, but didn't see much harm in sending a resume. I was also persuaded that there are opportunities for growth in the new job, my current boss is unlikely to leave for a decade so I have little opportunity for promotion in my current job.

I've gone in for two interviews and haven't particularly liked the interviewers, I've also learned that they've had 3 occupants for the new job in the past 5 years. Perhaps I would love the new job but I'm not getting a great vibe.

My family currently lives below our means and we don't want a Tesla or any major lifestyle upgrades. We have a good amount of savings now, but this would allow us to build up a much larger financial reserve and put a lot more in the kids' 529s. I haven't done the math after taxes but $70k is a big jump, I agree.[/quote]

Could you ask your former colleague why the high turnover?[/quote]
