slow morning mentally
Aug. 12th, 2019 09:04 amI went to bed early last night just exhausted and with a sore throat & hot lips (not fun). I seem to be okay and winning the battle against Germs but Ty is sick (cough, phlegm, tired, dizzy.)
I got my job offer last night /verbal before they do the letter? It's only a little more than i make here, but more benefits; it occurs to me I should try to get some benefits in place here at the Org but uh that costs money. My immediate reaction was disappointment - i thought i was going from 60k to 90k. meanwhile i've gotten a raise here to 65 and they want to offer me 68 as the assoc director (not exec dir). But also retirement, more vacation, and sick time. a more flexible schedule, and being #2 would have advantages re: stress etc.
However my concerns are:
- i happen to know one of the other staff would be making more than this. he's an old male.
- i'm not totes thrilled that they essentially filled the job internally. I do think it could be better ultimately because of things like continuity and vision BUT it could be a mess. -what if he's all over the place and a 'control freak'? We get along well but he is very hyper.
- i think it's POSSIBLE that steve with his super intense work ethic and no children that he will want me to do 'everything.' - surmountable, i just need Boundaries
These are all Surmountable Challenges but they make it less of a logical decision. I'm trying to decide what i want before i attempt to negotiate for it.
On the Other Hand
- i just looked up the 990 and the previous director was making about the same. so wherever i heard 95 might have been a misnomer (2 'sources' - recruiter & board member). it might have been the avail dollars for a director + development combined?
- It's still more and a certainly doable salary.
- the cost of living is about the same, the taxes may be more favorable, but maybe we wouldn't start with a dream house.
So, I'm kind of bummed - for the immediate reaction. My mental minimum was 71. Like i said, it doesn't mean we can't do it, but i can't like 'blame it on a better offer' right now.
I guess i'll take some time to think about it/counteroffer and whether I ultimately would move to vt to help run a museum!
