Senior Analyst offer from a 3G portfolio company.

Would you guys take it?

Current Situation: - Finance Rotational program making 60K with 5% bonus target - Will be promoted to senior analyst in June 2018 making 75K with 10% bonus target - 7% 401k match - 26 days PTO - Pays for CFA

Offer: - Senior Analyst making 85k - 25% bonus target - 18 days PTO - 7% 401k match

Only concern at the new place is the MBO management style and intense cost cutting and layoffs. Essentially feels like a money/culture tradeoff.
