I work in the games industry and currently these are my stats:
- 100k Base Salary
- 12% Target Bonus
- 30-40k Profit Sharing Bonus (If company does well)
For the last 5 years, the company has been doing well and bonuses have been paid out, but unfortunately the last games are not set to be a big success and I am burned out from my current project (just finishing a 4w vacation)
The new opportunity is on a smaller project, but I'd be in a higher position with new responsibilities which would be good for growth.
Here are the stats on the job offer:
- 110k Base Salary
- 4k Sign Bonus
- Project Completion bonus that is about half a month worth, about 6k.
The average pay for my experience and position can vary from 90 to 100k, and can top at around 125k (super rare). Financially speaking, my current company makes a lot of money in sales and is very stable. I've been here for 5 years.
The new job would provide me right away an opportunity to learn new things. The project ships in 12 months then I would have the opportunity to lead on a bigger project at the same company.
In my current company, I can move out of my current project and start thinking of new project concepts on my own, but there is no guarantee that none of these will actually ship, and the process will be slower than the new job since the company is going through revamps.
Thoughts? Should I take this 30 to 40k paycut? (Equivalent to ~25% in annual income)
