Thinking of giving up my $420K total comp job for $165K job. Significantly lower stress, excellent job security and much less workload
Basically title.
I’m thinking of giving up my 220+200(equity) job for a 165K job.
The 420job has insanely high standards and is very stressful and if you don’t perform a month you’ll be laid off.
The 165K job is much less stressful and much lower workload and much better worklife balance.
I am a Machine Leaning Engineer.
Both jobs have me building production AI Agents.
