Obviously settlement value goes down with each passing day and there is probably a point at which it is just too attenuated, especially if you fuck up post-leave. But LJL at them if they think your shitlawyer isn't going to get all your bosses and coworkers emails about you and comb through all of them for evidence that people were upset about your leave.

Date: February 21st, 2018 4:53 PM Author: chestnut marvelous state UPDATE: got a job offer today, pay is $7k higher than current job, benefits are worse (2 week vacation instead of 4, no match for 1 year instead of 4% at current), but position has better exit options, commute is shorter by about 20 minutes, and unlike current (no direct reports), i will have two. however, if i accept, i need to cut short my paternity at 6 weeks, give my two week notice, and start. take it?

|
Date: February 21st, 2018 4:55 PM Author: Charismatic Ticket Booth I wouldn’t. Sounds objectively worse.
The 7k sounds insignificant, unless you make like 50k |
|
Date: February 21st, 2018 4:58 PM Author: chestnut marvelous state current base is 110, this is 117. assume 15% bonus for both.
yeah it's very hard to give a shit about new job great first impressions, i will have to likely work my ass off for the next 3-6 months and all i'll have to show for it is a couple hundred dollars per paycheck (if that?), worse benefits, less vacation, etc. |
|
Date: February 21st, 2018 5:02 PM Author: Charismatic Ticket Booth I would gladly give up 7k for an additional 2 weeks vacation and no directs. Would weigh on the exit options. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3898742&forum_id=2#35454782) |
|
Date: February 21st, 2018 5:08 PM Author: Maize titillating plaza fanboi Toss up on vacation. Direct reports for sure are not worth 7k but it's a great resume item. I'd give up a couple weeks to save 20 mins a day though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3898742&forum_id=2#35454823) |

|
Date: February 21st, 2018 5:04 PM Author: Maize titillating plaza fanboi Better setup. Direct reports opens entirely new field of positions. 20 Mins per day easily makes up for a couple weeks vacation. More money.
Transitions suck. Having direct reports will suck. What's the new environment? That's probably the biggest factor.
Don't even consider the paternity leave (unless you plan on having lots more kids) |
|
Date: February 21st, 2018 5:17 PM Author: chestnut marvelous state we will have 1-3 more kids. i've had direct reports in the past. doesn't that dilute the value this time?
the environment is more stuffy and corporate (but overall collegial) i'd say. current company is 3-6 years old but relatively prestigious.
the commute admittedly is a big draw especially because wife's job is 10 minutes away from this new company and we might consider moving to that area.
however, lately, we've been thinking about risking it all and moving abroad, which makes me question whether i need to rock the boat at all right now. |
