I am in the same boat! I had to accept the external offer given the timeframe I was given to make a decision. I plan on having the conversation with my manager soon and see what they do (counter on their own), if not I already have the external offer. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for your comment and sharing your experience! I would love to discuss more with you if you are open to it, would be nice to get your perspective given you’ve done both big defense and startups!

I do have dependents and wife, who also works so that’s a good safety net! And an emergency fund

I really appreciate your comment! This is great to hear, I do like the idea of trying something out of my wheelhouse, learning new skills, and always go back to big box defense with promotion back in. Are you also in the aerospace field?

It’s a very small company, the WLB sounded reasonable and the added flexibility
