More pay that knocks 5 years off a job I hate may be worth it. If u love my job and don’t care as much about retirement maybe take the less busy.

My wife would probably prefer the work of the better paying job.

Seriously, we don't know the end from the beginning. Take it to one who does.

Without the extra dynamics, I would have said more money/more fun job but with other dynamics changed my view

That's not the only thing that we like about the other opportunity.

I'd take the Kentucky job and put a bunch of $$ in rainy-day savings

I was surprised at this poll - I would definitely take the job with more upside

She's definitely not miserable in current job, and she has some really cool

I’ve had a stable, less fulfilling job before

My main concern would be a not clear partnership track or a private equity

We would likely keep our house and rent it. We don't have to leave our <3% rate.

I have never been disappointed working for more upside. Yes, busier at times. Yes, heavier responsibility load.

Since money isn't what you are after, you mentioned several things that you are weighing which gave me these questions
