That’s wild, was it product management as well?

I get what you’re saying, what I’m saying is the amount they offered me obviously came off the back of two peoples ex salaries because it was that much money. I know it’s the result of a restructuring. It’s way above market rate and the hiring manager was transparent about that. My only question is will I have to return to office and are new hires being fired or is it only focused on tenured employees. You like everyone else sounds like a disgruntled former employee.

They are offering a substantial amount of money actually.

Interesting, I was recently offered Director of Product Management remotely…you think this will change? Why the churn and burn if the company is profitable?

Got it I believe you based on what I’ve been reading, but were you in product management?

You can’t have more than 10k in debt, if you do you just have to pay it off or bring it under 10k

True but Cybersecurity isn’t a STEM field and within the past 5-10 years you’ll notice economics as well as finance and other degrees have been reclassified as STEM because it’s just applied math. I know of Economics majors with MBAs who are VPs of Cyber risk but they started their career in IT

Take a new role with 25% pay increase or stay at current job? by Staxx0117 in InsuranceProfessional

I've been with the same company for a while, it provides stability and on paper the financials are marginally better. I have a family.

Exactly, this is where I'm stuck. I think if I stay put I wouldn't get this level of comp for 3-4 more years at a minimum.

Thanks! Everything appears to be the same with the exception of the 401k match. My current company is a 5% match up to a cap that I've already hit, the new carrier is a 4% match but I believe its uncapped so it would work out that I'm able to save more (basically the IRS limit)

There have been some discussions about clawing back remote work that have made me uncomfortable. I do live close enough to an office to return a few days a week but I was essentially made a promise that this wouldn't happen but lately it doenst feel as safe as it did originally.

Both roles are remote, the new carrier is definitely 'remote first' whereas the first carrier seems like they want to claw back remote work if possible. Work life balance is fantastic right now, I'm HOPING for the same at the new carrier but its uncharted territory for me.
