Hey PF,
I come seeking advice on weighting the pros and cons of a new job offer I received yesterday, and possibly hearing opinions on which offer I should accept. A bit about my current situation:
I live in a north Chicago suburb, and am currently taking the train down to the city every day.
Current Gig (Start-up):
- 130k base salary + 10% bonus (143k total comp)
- 4,000 shares out of 80m outstanding (not a lot, but could potentially increase over time. No acceleration clause. 4 year vest).
- Full Benefits. I pay about $100 a month in premiums.
- 401k with a 4% match ($5,200 in match per year)
- $160 train ticket per month for commute
- 2 weeks PTO
NEW Offer:
- 145k base salary + 5-10% bonus (153-160k total comp)
- Full benefits with 100% paid premiums
- NO 401k matching!
- 18 vacation, 9 sick, 3 personal days off (damn)
- 16 miles north of me. My commute would change from train to driving about 40 mins one way
- The X factor with this new gig is that I do think I would benefit more (skillset wise) in the long run.
The no 401k match and the 40 min driving commute are really the only things that aren't making this a home run yes for me. Any advice at all is super appreciated. Be brutally honest and ask any questions at all.
