If this sounds familiar, I’ve posted here before. I’m currently a Senior Financial Analyst at a large manufacturing company, and I hit four years with the company this past February. Over that time, my salary has only increased by about $4,500, and I haven’t received a promotion or title change. I was hired as a Senior Financial Analyst, and four years later, I’m still a Senior Financial Analyst. I recently received an offer from another company for essentially the same position, with a $12K salary increase. There are definitely some downsides, though. The position is hybrid (3 days in the office), whereas I’m currently fully remote. The commute would be about 1.5 hours each way with traffic, and my current vehicle isn’t exactly reliable. If I accept, I’d likely need to purchase a new vehicle sooner rather than later just to make the commute sustainable. On the positive side, everyone I’ve met at the new company seems genuinely nice, and the opportunity would give me a chance to work with a new team, learn new things, and get a much-needed break from doing essentially the same thing I’ve been doing for the last four years. As for my current job, there are definitely some perks: - Fully remote. - Unlimited PTO. - Flexibility to attend extracurricular activities, including paid sports training and sports leagues. However, I’m honestly miserable in my current role. I feel overworked and underpaid for the responsibilities I have. I’ve also been trying to work toward a management position, but I’m constantly being told I’m not ready. Every time I meet one expectation, there’s seemingly another arbitrary hurdle I need to clear before I’m considered for advancement. I’m feeling pretty stuck. On one hand, I have the flexibility and convenience of my current job, but I’m unhappy and don’t see much opportunity for growth. On the other hand, I have a new opportunity with a little more money and what could be a better work environment, but I’d be giving up a lot of flexibility and taking on a pretty significant commute. Would you take the new position, or stay somewhere comfortable but unhappy? Am I potentially giving up too much for a $12K increase?   submitted by   /u/GirlFromMathClass   to   r/Salary [link]   [comments]
