Oh man. One week into my new position. You never know really how a company operates until you're privy into their convoluted financials. The gray areas are huge evidently.

The gray areas are huge evidently. that's why "Ignorance is bliss" works: its usually painfully true. but at least now it sounds like you can do something about it. and FTR: new NYS employees are Tier 6 - not such a good deal.

Ha! You're absolutely right. That's part of the reason I turned down the state job. 75% of the reason

So where do you stand now? CFO or state job?? 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. Very impressive all around, fucko. Srsly. I knew there was a sound, solid man under that contrarian fvckhead act.
