Live well below your means at first to offset some of the risk of things not working out the way you hope.

How much do I love my job and how much sooner can I retire?

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

RE: POLL: Would you prefer good pay with an easier, very secure job; or great

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

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

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
