Do I take the opportunity?
If I take it, this is what I give up:
- $10k of sign on bonus
- company paid cell phone ($114/month)
- 2-3% company contribution to 401k
- paid vacation and sick time
- monthly work parties
- company paid standing desk ($1k+)
- Trainings
- the chance to really get good at gmp (love/hate relationship)
- excellent health benefits
- $10k/year in salary
- company travel reimbursement
- yearly raise
- yearly bonus ($9k+)
- taxes being paid to irs on a regular basis (would have to pay 4x per year instead of once)If I take it this is what I gain:
- Working with a smaller group of three guys I really like
- Doing software development now instead of in sept-oct
- short commute to work (wfh)
- more flexible schedule
- no more gmp
- less health insurance hassle
