Take the job or not?

B
>4 miles from home, maybe a 10 min commute on a bad day
>15 days vacation, likely more strict about tracking it, too. After 5 years there, I'd FINALLY move to 20 days.
>no work from home (which I'm okay with honestly since it's so close)
>hours suck, they said 8am-5pm. I never take lunch, so that's 9 hours a day?? Not sure if they're flexible on this or not.
>pay will be around 120+K with bonus, but bonuses are quarterly and the company is doing REALLY well, so bonuses are good. and since bonuses are quarterly, I get the money a lot sooner than having to wait all year for it.
>no on call support
>would be brand new, no reputation, etc.
>would have more autonomy and authority in the role. I'd be working directly with customers to determine requirements and seeing them through from start to finish. Would look good if I wanted to go into management later.
>company is medium sized (I like that), and is ranked one of the best places to work, as well. has better glassdoor reviews than my current company even.
>industry is SUPER cool and I'm really interested in learning it because it's seriously an industry that's only going to grow, seriously one of the best to be in.
>tech stack is older, their practices are antiquated, though they claim to be open to change. my tech skills would dull by working here probably, unless I really worked hard to change the way they work, and I don't know how that will go.

So... B is in a better industry, pays more and is soo much closer, but the hours and vacation suck ass. B also seems generally more strict and conservative about working arrangements.

Both jobs are senior software developer roles, if that colors your response in some way.

Which job would you take?

Oh, I'd also have my own office at B.

Bump, any opinions are welcome... I'm lost.

Writing your novel in greentext doesn't make it any shorter

B..?

Can't quite say I'm 100% sold, really depends on how the vacation/work hour flexibility gets to you.

On a side note good for you man, making a good living.

I personally would go for A, but that's just because I put the vacation time and flexible hours above p much everything else, I'm not one to live to work; it's a means to an end. You may feel differently about it

>>18587488
thanks for the input guys, really do appreciate your viewpoints

>>18587488
yeah, I'll definitely have to talk to them about it, but it feels like it would be rude to ask if I can stomp on the work hours and vacation days before I even accept the offer, guess I have to though

>>18587498
yeah, I really do value my free time and time with my son above my job, so that's a major part of why I'd want to stay, but the commute is killing me :(

>>18587345
In A u may work less but 1h to go there and 1h back makes it so you kill the same amount of time a day.

>>18587345
A seems better cuz of the vacation days and benefits. B sucks cuz what if you are the top seller and great with the company like 2 yrs from now? Outselling and customers luv ya but NO NO NO you still get 15 days per yr of vacation cuz everybody else who does not have seniority had to do the same amount of time.

I think you will get promoted if this happens, it is only fair, but since it is a large more "corporate" company it seems they are use to standards.

Like I said go with A.
