Update....Lol, bitchezz... The state moves as slow as molasses in January. Two board meetings to officially "decide" when I would start and what the pay package would be. Meanwhile....my original job just offered me a 180% salary increase and a new position as mother fucking CFO. Unreal. I started at this place as a maintenance manager. I'm now third in command. No diploma. No college. Holy shit. Holy. Fucking. Shit. Literally every single thing I struggle with with my family evaporated in one conference call. Congrats. Did your current job get know you were looking elsewhere?

Think long term security. Too many times one grabs the bucks now, but it doesn't pay off in the long run. Voice of experience here.

Yeah, it's definitely something that needs a lot of thought. More money now could mean less in the future. But then again, it might not. You have to think about the long term prospects. What are the possibilities that the business will be around for the long haul. Could it be sold and could they eventually let you go because you make too much money. And what are the prospects of getting a similar or better job. (The good news is you're a plumber and there will always be work.) I had a friend who worked at IBM and was offered another job with more money but turned it down because he didn't want to leave the security of IBM. Then IBM had a huge layoff and he got let go anyway. (His wife worked there too and she lost her job as well.) So even the best thought out decisions don't turn out perfect. There is a lot of security in a state job. And it comes with excellent benefits and a pension. I'm not sure what tier new state employees are at now and exactly what they get so that is something to look into as well. Having benefits when you retire is key too. You're pretty young too so you could put in 30 years and get a dandy pension. Then again, a shitload more money now can be invested well and take care of you for the rest of your life too. But I'm sure you'll weigh the pluses and minuses and make the best decision for you and the (ever growing) family. Good luck.

Take the short money with a state job provided the benefits and pension are good. Get a good life insurance policy that extends well into your retirement. If you are young enough when you get out, have a plan in place well before you retire for what you will do work-wise. So far it's working out for me, but it's early in the game.

Seriously, that's awesome, man. Seems like the only way to get ahead these days is to change jobs, or lateral moves which eventually put you ahead. Stay at one place, and they take you for granted. So you're back at the original place, no state job? Thats the truth... unless youre happy getting a piddly raise every year that barely meets the cost of living increase, job hopping seems to be the way to go. Ain't like when our fathers and grandfathers started out, thats for sure. Loyalty is for shit.

This thread is great. It's like that 70-pager back at JI when JetsFanOhio brought us all along for his divorce......but this is the opposite.
Congrats to the King of Flushing Meadows!

Think long term security. Too many times one grabs the bucks now, but it doesn't pay off in the long run. Voice of experience here. The bucks are the same. I told my boss I applied and kept him in the loop. He's a close friend, so I didn't want to blindside him. When I got the offer from the state job, I let him know....he percolated and matched it. End of the day, I stay...make the same salary as the state job, but get cheaper health insurance, 5 weeks of vacation, much higher flexibility in hours, a company vehicle, and a promotion...and the ability to have much more input to control the financial reins, which have been really lacking. This company has been hemorrhaging money since 2008 because of a series of really awful business decisions made by people I've worked under who ignored my input. I've helped the bloodletting by working on the project myself as a subcontractor...but it was a band aid. I learned of a whole bunch of other oversights during the loan closing that turns my stomach. My new position gives me the latitude to make sure that shit doesn't happen again. All I really give up by passing on the state job is the NYS pension. That was a hard pill to swallow...but in reality, I have the ability to make six figures in western New York where I'm at now. If I can't fund my own 401k enough up here in the rust belt making that much...then I'm a fucking idiot.
