I'm currently at the manager level of IT consulting. I make 140k now, with a potential for 9% - 15% raise later this year and maybe a 5% bonus.

Consulting salaries rise incredibly fast and odds are that I will be at 180k by late next year - I were to stay. If I can continue to produce and connect at the pace I'm currently moving at, I could be at 400k to 600k yearly within the next 6 years.

In consulting though, the stress is constant, the demands never end and the pressure to always be "on game" is maddening.

I'm 40 years old.

I just received an offer from a large financial company, they will pay 150k and a 15k bonus. There is also a yearly bonus.

This is an "industry" role and I may never get over 200k at this financial organzation.

At this financial company, the stress levels would drop considerably, the work life balance would be great and I wouldn't feel as if I'm in "Manhattan Based" movie at all times.

I live in a medium cost of living city. I have one teenage kid. Both jobs are fully WFH.

What would you do?
