I really enjoy my job and I have a great team that is really starting to hit their stride. I'm fully remote, have terrific work-life balance, great benefits.
All that said, I had a head hunter reach out with an absolutely head spinning position. Insane money, options, bonus, fully remote,great company. But corporate, with all that entails.
Golly. Think I should have the conversation or sensibly stick with the position that absolutely fits my life and not play with the greed fire?
Same vibe here.
IMO - work-life balance *and* stability are both important. Lots of new jobs come with probationary periods where they can/will let you go for the slightest infraction.
Job you have, that you like, with people you enjoy, that lets you work from home >>>>> job that pays better and has better benefits but you might hate and you're starting over again re: seniority.
Yah. My last two positions were corporate and I felt like I always had to be turned up to 11.
I'm leaning towards being incredibly flattered, noting my new theoretical worth, and thanking them for reaching out.
@Cosmichomicide You can certainly interview them and ask questions.
@Cosmichomicide It can’t hurt to listen to them and see what they say. Then you can make an informed decision!🤗
Oh, I got an incredibly detailed breakdown of the position. I know exactly what they are looking for and I'm a damned near perfect match.
And they didn't even play the salary game - all the numbers up front. 10 years ago, I'd have been all over it like a vulture in guts.
It's truly a shiny object... 😱
@Cosmichomicide Do what makes you happy.
@Cosmichomicide Work life balance is worth a lot.
