There is a dream role on the horizon for me with lots of learning. The catch is I would have to take a pay cut from 170k to 140k. But that job will get me excited to get out of bed each morning whereas the current team is toxic. Worth mentioning the new job will involve a fair bit of hand holding to begin with. Would you do it?
I'd take the offer. Happiness comes first. Money will come later anyway
Thanks for chiming in
The long-term pay prospects for DS are similar to SWE. It may feel like a step back in TC for now but shouldn't in the long term. The work is pretty different but is very engaging. I would go for it if DS work sounds more interesting!
That's insightful. Thanks!
Seems you know the answer
I'd be interested to know if you'd take it if you were in my position. I am intent on it. But just doing a sanity check here on blind.
Yes I would 1. Money drop isn't so significant, you'll earn way more later on 2. Happiness is important 3. DS is a desired profession
