Hello personal finance,
I’m a 24 year old that has recently gotten into the field of medical sales. I’m bringing in about $200,000 per year (commission and base) at my currently company but the hours have been brutal and I’m quickly burning out - I’m talking 55/65 hour work weeks. It has gotten to the point where I’m getting panic attacks on a weekly basis.
I have been doing my research and several smaller companies in the area have openings for similar jobs paying around the $120k range (commission and base). I have had a 2 interviews with two companies, each one with zero OT required and closer to home by about 10 minutes.
With being so young, do you recommend taking the pay cut and going with a company where I would be working less and has a much more relaxed atmosphere?
Monthly expenses - $1400 rent - $100 utilities / subscriptions - $800 car - $1000 food and entertainment - $100 student loan repayment
I will also be maxing out my 401k contribution and Roth IRA in either scenarios.
Thank you for the help!
