I have been in a similar position multiple times.
And I regret the times where I let money decide. It usually felt like "Ok, I'll just do this for a few years, make a boatload of money and then move on".
In retrospect it feels like I wasted those years. Life is so much bigger than a bank account. Time is priceless.
- Clubber 5y ago>Time is priceless. I wholeheartedly agree, but working at a company is selling time no matter how interesting the technology might be. It's not the same as working on personal projects; there will always be unpleasant aspects to it, certainly after more time passes (I've been through more M&A than I care to think about). If the goal is to stop selling your time, then double the salary would achieve that goal twice as fast, assuming the job is at least tolerable. Never work for a shit hole where you dread coming in, but money is a means to an end. Money is freedom.
