Got two offers I'm contemplating right now. Both are remote roles in the logistics/supply chain world.
Offer 1: very large health care company out of Ohio. Salary 21% increase over current. Decent to Nice 401k match. 23 days pto from day 1
Offer 2: younger/not quite startup cloud logistics company out of the ATL. Tremendous growth from launch in 2015. 19% salary increase from current. No match on 401k but did offer company equity (100 shares/$20k valuation) and unlimitedish pto.
Either is a step up from my current situation. What's your take?

Take Offer 1

It really depends on what you value the moat. Personally, I like the idea of being a part of a growing company even of it means a little less money. But, money isn't that big of a thing for me to be happy.

Quit your job, sneak south of the border, sneak back into the US and get your big paycheck.

Where in Ohio? The second job sounds very tempting but driving in ATL can be a nightmare. So if the Ohio job has a much easier commute that should make your life less stressful.
Also how close are you to the age you want to retire at? If the finish line is getting close that changes things.

They are both remote jobs. I live up in Michigan so the commute isn't a factor.
I'm still a good 20-25 years from retiring. The first one is Cardinal Health headquartered in Dublin, OH. The second one is Stord.

I can see wanting to escape Michigan winters. I'd lean to the Atlanta job, myself. Slightly lower starting pay but better chance for advancement. The area is nicer climate wise and its a fairly short drive to the beaches.
The Columbus, Ohio area isn't the absolute worst place to live though.

I like stability, so offer 1.

Id prefer living in the south over living in Ohio. Where I’m Atlanta is the company. I have a bunch of friends that live in Roswell that are close enough to enjoy living in the Atl area but don’t have to deal with the crazy traffic day to day

I used to live in Atlanta and there's no way I'd do it again.

I'd be more inclined to go with option #1.
An older, more established Company has more likelihood of survival should the economy completely tank in the next few years. Plus, it's Healthcare.....that is 100% occupational security.

I would consider Option #2 only if I had a VERY high level of confidence in the leadership acumen of the young company's leader.

Offer 2 seems like the biggest growth potential...but stability-wise, it's hard to be more stable than healthcare.
If you still have more than a decade to retire...look at option 2. If it goes under, you still have a chance to recover and will get a 5hit-ton of growth in the meantime.
If you are retiring in the next 10 years or so...option 1. It's time to start leaning more towards stability over growth.

That is something that won't be getting outsourced to Bangladesh. It is a big selling point.

Both jobs look shitty. You need to ask for a 27% raise to offset the fast rise in inflation that hasn't caught up to salaries.

At which would you be most comfortable. Quality work life is paramount.

Take job two. Your coworkers will be better teammates and the management will be less about the BS when you're all building something for yourselves. Sounds like a "get your work done and get out" type of schedule freedom, too.

I've accepted #2.
I want to continue to learn and grow while getting opportunities to gain more skills and move up within a company. Based on first couple of interviews with #2, they seems to promote from within pretty willingly and quickly.
Thanks for your opinions everyone.
