I have been in my current job for a couple of years. The all-in pay is 215k/year, the hours are 9-5, and the job is 100% permanently remote. In terms of lifestyle this is pretty great, as I have no commute time, can travel frequently, and have a great work/life balance for my profession.
However I have just been offered a new position through my network. This job would pay 500k/year with bonus. It would also require me to live in NYC, be in the office at least a few days a week, and work much longer hours (at least semi-frequent late nights and weekend work, monitoring emails all times of the day, etc.).
I am really struggling with the decision. While the compensation difference is massive, a fair bit of that would likely get eaten up by NYC cost-of-living and taxes (I currenty live in Miami), and my work/life balance would be much worse.
Would it be insane to turn down this offer?
For context, I am mid/late 30s, single, with about 500k of assets and no debt.
