I have been working for a tech company for 1.5 yrs. The salary is fair and got offered equity (60k) that vests over 4 years. The working hrs are 10 to 7pm, but most times 7pm becomes 8,9 or even later depending on the time of the year (reporting period). Even though the flexibility of the schedule is promoted within the company, we are encouraged to start later next days and so on, my daily program gets kinda ruined and it affects my life. After the end of year personal evaluation i got a 10% pay increase which is not that bad but considering the inflation this year basically my salary is the same.
Recently I've been looking around and got an offer that has a 40% increase and similar benefits and a 9 to 5 program which made me thinking.
I had an initial talk with my manager but she said the already increase in merit is substantial when comparing with others and i have to consider that i have equity as well which in 4 years can multiply. Her recommendation was to go talk with hr and see if they can calibrate.
Will i be better with more cash in my hand and more free time? Or with a saving net that can be available after 4 yrs? What if i am burned out in 1 year or so?
Please advise. Thanks
