I have 5 years experiance bouncing around accounting,audit,quasi-financial analyst type roles and obtained my cpa license in 2012. Am currently making 62k in St paul Minnesota as financial analyst 2(low hours,low visibility, with a crappy manager position). I have just been offered a 76k staff accountant position in Seattle with a top 3 tech company. The position sounds very intresting and it’s a tough company to get into but my research indicates the company doesn’t have the best work-life balance and people leave after couple of years of getting their name on the resume. The offered position does not offer relocation package, but the signing bonus covers most of the potential moving expenses.
Am 31 years old, married with two kids and am conflicted on this, on one hand i can’t stand my job anymore and i feel like i have regressed since i have been here (extremely mindless work with an annoying and controlling supervisor). But am not so sure about taking a staff accountant role after 5 years of experiance and a cpa license (albeit only one year of quality role on my resume)
Please share your opinion if the offer i stated above is desirable enough to move half-way accross the country for with my current situation.
