I got an offer for a software dev position for a financial firm in SF, with a pretty high total comp. I love my current role at Netflix but the extra money in the new role is too hard to pass on. Just taking a straw poll and opinions on what the genpop here feels about trading life for (more) money. What are some of things that I should keep in mind while making this decision? I am still in my mid 20s and want to stay in tech long term but I feel that taking this gig for at least a few years would be a good and different experience. That being said, I do have concerns over the quality and rigour of work in financial firms, which is making this decision a lot harder. Would love to know your experience if any of you have made this transition.

That said, could be a great way to sock away some house-buying money faster than you could otherwise, and see how another culture feels while you're still very early in your career.
If you want to get an accurate salary range for a position you're interested in, them talking to a 3rd party recruiter that you're working through is your best bet
For your company, you could ask them if they've had people move from there to other tech companies.
