Stuck between two very different job offers, looking for advice.

I’m probably sounding like a broken record on this sub, but I’m my experience I worked a decent paying job for about a decade before I got into fire. I saved a lot of money and put a lot of it into investments. When I finally decided to quit my job and pursue fire I felt very comfortable taking a low paying job knowing that I have a very decent cushion and a good jump on my Roth, and other investments. This let me enjoy the job a lot more than others I see struggle grinding to survive.

You’re setup in a even better position, not only are you making decent money, you’re also getting some relevant experience. So if you do decide you need to hop into a full time fire job you can already come in a few grades higher and hopefully have a nice cushion of money to ease the pain of such a pay decrease. That sounds like a win/win man.
