So after months of looking for a full time job (not just freelancing), I finally landed a role as a digital marketing manager. I feel like I'd be really successful in the role, but have a few concerns:
1) It pays $15k less than any job has paid me in almost 10 years--and it's a LOT of work. I would be leading the marketing and sales teams. It's not all about the money for me, but what bothers me is that the owner said he felt I was light on marketing exp and feels like I will earn more though meeting quarterly bonuses. I really don't know how to feel about what he said (I have a really extensive resume, and people do tend to age discriminate against me because I look very young).
2) I have to work a year to get a week off! Every job with the exception of one has given me 4-5 weeks plus sick leave for vacation because even they admitted I wasn't making enough (and I was being paid $15k more).
I know the market is bad, and I'm grateful for the opportunity. And everyone there seems very nice, and it'd be a good look for my resume. But I don't know if I should take it if I may end up quitting down the line. I plan to renegotiate but don't want to talk myself out of the opportunity. Any thoughts? I'm happy with either more vacation time or money--I don't need both to be satisfied.
