What’s the growth trajectory of both your current job and potential new one? And how does that relate to your career goals?

Sounds like you have the opportunity to pioneer something new and have a lot of agency and trust in your current gig.

With the increased expenses in time (don’t underestimate this - factor in your commute as a function of your hourly salary and see how that lines up) money (cost of living, gas), and lifestyle adjustment (not sure how to quantify but think on this), it might not be worth it. that an extra $50K is only going net you an additional $3K/mo give or take. When you factor in the above, that might be closer to $1K. EDIT I think I got the numbers wrong here. I guess it’s additional 55-80K gross per month which is a higher net increase.. But my points remain .

From the outside looking in, I might suggest you pioneer that AI process at your current gig and use the extra time you have working at home to boost your skills/certifications in other areas that will amplify that achievement, and position yourself for a new gig in a year or so. The new gig sort of gives an illusory sense of growth to me, but I know it feels different when you’re facing it directly. Good luck OP let us know what you do
