24 years old, 2 years experience, just received an offer for a $190K base SE role. What would you do with this kind of jump this early?

Still processing this, but I am extremely grateful.
24 years old, 2 years into my career, background in cybersecurity. Just received an offer for a Pre-Sales SE role at $180K base + $10K sign-on. Came from $71K at my last role.

For those who’ve had big comp jumps early in their career, what did you do with it? How did you think about it?

I am so blessed to be in this position and I am so curious to see where this role will take me in the future.
