Seeking Advice And/or Comments On Which Job To Choose by Confusedgirlie: 5:37pm On Jul 14, 2023
As the title says, seeking advice/comments on which job to decide on.

I'm based in Canada, but have recently got two offers from a US company and a Japanese company. I'm a little undecided on which to choose, so I've decided to put it out there to get comments from some of you. I have an idea of which I'll go for, but it will help nevertheless to get comments from some knowledgeable folks here.

Job 1 is based in Canada, though working for a US company. Salary is in USD and is $125k. See attachment below. There is an additional sign-on bonus of $5k, stock options worth about $20k, I think. However, I have to go to the office at least twice a week. The turn-off here is that the role isn't exactly what I wanted. It is a more junior role to what I do already, and it will take me at least a year to get to the senior role which is what I applied for. They offered the junior role and said they couldn't do any better, given the circumstances. Vacation days is 15 days per annum

Job 2 is based in Japan and the salary is in yen. Equivalent of about $135k. There is a pip of 0-20% depending on performance and additional discounted stock purchase worth about $5k. No options or additional stocks. It is remote, but I have physically to be in Yokohama because of data regulations. It is the exact senior role I want, but they make no promises of future promotions, though it is logical to expect that it will happen. Flights to and from Japan is fully covered by the company, including during vacations. Vacation days is 25 days per annum. I am a Canadian citizen already, so traveling out of Canada is not a problem.

All salaries are gross. Any helpful advice from people will be well-appreciated. I can share more information if it is useful. Thank you, guys.

I can't offer you professional advise seeing as i don't know exactly what you do and how taking a job might affect your career trajectory. The Japan offer looks and sounds good. A change in environment too is not a such bad idea and i think it might position you for better future offers.. Take the japan offer, you work in the senior role and you can always re-apply to the US job again if the position you want opens up. Taking a junior role with more money is not career growth. I am a traveler at heart, Japan it is.
