I live and work in a small town Iowa accounting firm. I make pretty good money, probably overpaid. We are short staffed, finding additional EE's has been very difficult. Work 100+ hours during the tax season which is extremely taxing. Pun intended?
I was contacted by a lady I know that is leaving her current position at a local business. She believes I would be a good candidate and wants me to apply.
Since I do her taxes, I know how much she makes. I would take a small decrease, maybe $5k, depending on where they started me of course. But no more tax seasons is well worth $5k. This position would also set me up for CEO or CFO down the road.
Here's the deal. If I were to leave, my current firm would be completely screwed. We are small, and I'm a huge part of it. The thought of leaving them high and dry makes my heart beat faster/harder, couldn't sleep last night.
Go with the it's not personal, it's business and don't worry about my current firm? Only look at what's best for me/family?
Use this opportunity as leverage and be overpaid even more? LOL They would probably give me an extra $20k.
This might be the biggest, most difficult decision of my working career.
Need help ladies and gents.
