Salary/title vs WLB
I currently work as a Director of Finance making $215k. Medium sized tech company, 10-20 hours a week, super chill. I can totally unplug on vacations and take weekends at a time without thinking about work. First time in years where I feel like myself again after tough stints in IB/PE.
I just received an offer for a VP of Finance role at a small company. $300k salary, decent equity. I would expect 60-70 hours a week.
This feels like potentially diving back into the depths of despair. But this is a great offer by any measure and could exponentially set me up for a lifetime of wealth and opportunity. I’m just not sure I can carry the weight with everything in my personal life that I want to be present for again.
Dude you work 10-20 hours. Your hours would go up 3-7x for a 1.5x increase in pay. You’re a director don’t you have some cash banked. Let that grow and enjoy life.
I know and I agree. But I’m also weighing the compounding effect of potential fast tracking to CFO instead of slowly climbing the corporate ladder. Short term pain for long term gain. Interested to hear your thoughts on that.
CFO hours will be high if / when you get there. You’ll probably become numb to the hours after a few months if you take the role but if you have personal life obligations I don’t think it’s worth it
Insane that you are even considering leaving your current role. Some people just can’t be helped
How many yoe to get your current role?
I refuse to believe this post is real. If you really have that much free time, start a side hustle or something instead of nuking your life for minimal upside. Even day trading futures would be more optimal
