I figure 7-8 year break even and hope that seniority list movement will mitigate recession concerns moving forward. Hard choice. Didn’t want to leave, but I feel that waiting on the final outcome of whatever spirit will become will make me miss opportunities elsewhere. Maybe I’ll regret that and maybe I won’t. Check back in 2-3 years.

The wife has a good, secure job and has dug her heels into where we live. She’s not moving, I’m not commuting and I don’t want find out I’m a commuter in a few years when the legacies start hitting the tail end of their hiring waves.

A few year’s difference in age or seniority either way would have made the decision for me, but I struggled over this one in my current situation.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.
My 100% honest opinion is that you made the correct choice. Enjoy the new gig and don't look back.
