This is Edelman Financial Engine's everyday wealth

with award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien,

personal finance expert Jean Chatsky,

and Edelman Financial Engine's wealth planner,

Jason Cowans.

So Jason, let's just say,

let's say I'm your client, right?

And let's say, I'll shave a good 10 years off my age.

Let's say, I'm 48 and I've been working at a company for 15 years, but I just got offered this amazing job across the street.

I was heavily recruited.

I have negotiated hard because I've been taught well I haven't

accepted quite yet because I've got a lot of equity with my current company it's

some of it's vested some of it's vested, some of it's not. What do I need to consider if I'm trying

to decide if taking this new, better paying job is actually a money loser or a money winner in the long run.

The first thing I want you to do is really think about is the grass truly greener on the other side.

More money isn't always the end goal for everyone. So let's

really go through what the new compensation package looks like because on the

front end it may be more dollars in your pocket. But I had a client where

they left and they had 90 days exactly to get rid and sell

of all their vested shares and they lost all of their unvested.

They didn't know that going in because they wanted to be hush hush but.
