I received an offer with a 40% salary increase, but everyone says the company has terrible work-life balance. Would you take the risk?
  • Sounds good but for workerholic, to some extent it consumes all your time until your family feels abandoned because you have to prove that 40% is not... going to waste. ive gone through the same. more

  • That’s definitely a tough decision because compensation is important, but so is having the time and flexibility to enjoy the life you’re working to... build.

    A bigger paycheck can solve some problems, but it’s worth looking at the bigger picture: your goals, your family, your health, and whether the opportunity aligns with the lifestyle you want long term.

    Sometimes situations like this lead people to explore additional options that give them more flexibility and control over their income.

    You or someone you know may be looking for ways to create another income stream alongside their career. I’m always open to connecting, sharing what I do, and having a conversation to see if it could be a good fit.

  • It depends if its in the 6 figure range and your expenses doesn't swallow up your extra earnings entirely

  • Take the risk and accept the offer

  • Been there, looks good to start, all promises . However if you have a family or anytime of love life one or the other will end. Hold to the 40% job... and odds are the divorce will end up costing more than that 40 % raise that looks good at first. If your a workaholic and no life then go for it. more

  • Now would be a good time to directly ask about the expectations that come with the position. 40% is a big increase, but if it comes at the destruction... of your personal life, it may end up as a short term hire. more
