So I’m a BI analyst at a financial services company making $83k + 14% bonus. Job is stable, benefits are good, and I do 3 days in office / 2 at home. The downside is they’ve been making it harder and harder to actually get promoted or see real raises.

A friend of mine is hiring for basically the same role at a Fortune 20 company. Range is $85-120k with no bonus and it’s fully remote. I genuinely love WFH so that’s a big deal to me, and the growth ceiling seems way higher than where I’m at now.

My hesitation is that the pay bump might not even be that significant depending on where they offer, and I’ve heard bigger companies can be riskier from a layoff standpoint. But I’m also kind of stuck where I am now with no clear path up financially without moving into management.

Is this a no-brainer or am I overthinking the stability aspect? Has anyone made a similar jump?

I live in the Bethel/Henderson area and while there are a lot of great restaurants I haven’t found a bar I like for cheap drinks. I usually end up driving over to bobs in Clintonville or Johnie’s in Grandview, but would love to find something a bit closer to home.
