<prompt> Human: Hi PF. I need some objective guidance on my job situation. Im currently a Business Analyst making 73k. New Company NC is a tech company that has offered me an 80k salary to come on board my interest and skillset lies in IT. Since this was about an 11 raise, I decided to pursue the opportunity and gave Current Company CC my two week notice. CC CIO threw out a 95k counter offer with a 10k variable bonus based on project performance to keep me on. This would put me into the six figure range. Benefits are comparable at each company. CC would have more flexibility and my tenure has afforded me 4 weeks of annual PTO. CC also has an HDHP with an HSA, which NC does not have. 401k match is the same at both. The position with NC would be contract for six months with a conversion to permanent after. During the contract term I would have no PTO and very limited flexibility. CC allows for a flexible WFH schedule. The part that Im really hung up on is NC is a much younger company, both age wise and mentality wise, and has a fantastic atmosphere and culture. They are more leading edge with up to date technology and strongly promote cross functional duties and mentorship, so there is the potential to learn a lot there Im hungry for that kind of atmosphere and knowledge. CC is a more established company but stuck in its ways with severely outdated technology. I fear Im missing out on an opportunity for greater exposure to new tech if I stay with CC a non-tech finance company.Just purely looking at the dollars, it seems like a no brainer, but I worry about taking the money now and missing out on a potentially great opportunity for a role at the type of company where I feel I could learn a lot, which would help me down the road in my career. Im pretty torn. What does PF think?Assistant: Idk I feel like your current employer won that battle. 95k base salary is nice plus a 10k bonus wow. Do you like working at your current employer? Human: Its not the worst but theres a lot of gridlock and old sales and marketing guys running the show, much to the disdain of the rest of the company. They run amuck and dictate pretty much everything we do, and they dont like change. So theres very little forward progress, which can be intensely frustrating. Assistant: How much longer will those guys be around? Sounds like youre valued at your current job - perhaps an opportunity for advancement?Human: Sales and marketing guys at CC have been around for ages, so who knows. CC CIO mentioned wanting to get me into management, so theres definitely room for growth here. NC also has growth opportunities, but since the role is new the path isnt defined.  <response>: Hurry up and choose NC so I can take your old job at CC.
