An Ops Executive
Stability vs. Growth
I'm in a tough spot, and I need some advice! I've got two offers on the table:
Offer 1:
Pros: Great WLB, good culture, stable job, and a role I'm familiar with.
Cons: Slower growth and potential career stagnation.
Offer 2:
Pros: Higher pay, a strategic role in a hot industry, and a chance to learn a ton.
Cons: Toxic culture, poor WLB, and questionable job security.
I'm 24 and torn between these two very different paths. Part of me wants the peace of mind and stability, but another part craves the excitement and potential of the second offer.
Does sacrificing my mental health and work-life balance now pay off in the long run? Or should I prioritize a healthier work environment and a more sustainable career?
I'm really struggling with this decision, and any advice would be greatly appreciated

If you're even considering an offer where you might kill yourself eventually, I'm not sure whether you have your priorities straight.

Offer one hands down. Ops in fintech is pretty hectic by itself. Add over that the instability of wlb and you'll be mentally rekt eventually

Growth is overrated. What’s the point of chasing growth if you’re mentally exhausted? Stability is peace
